My engine and steering swap is running into a snag. I have to run a remote oil filter, but all of the engine adapters run straight out. This runs the hoses straight into my steering shaft. The two outputs are so close together that there's no room to put a 90* fitting on there. Does anyone know of anyone who makes 90* remote oil filter adapter? Thanks.

If you have the room, you can install one 90* elbow and then for the other one, you can install a small length of pipe so that the second elbow will clear the first. It might not be the prettiest, but it is shorter than a regular filter (at least it won't need the same space to spin on-off)

Any Idea who carries them? I've found some kits that have the oil filter ends both straight and 90, but all the engine sides are straight.

edit: Well, since I posted this, I've been searching the web. I found this one:

but it's 60 fawking dollars! Is there anyone who makes something just like this for a better price? The straight ones are only $10.
