Hey guys I bought a oil cooler kit. It came with a sandwitch plate for the connections but I cant screw in the oil filter back on since the plate is around 1" thick and the thing you screw the oil filter on is not long enough.

can anyone help me out to ware I can buy this part? My kit didnt come with it and after looking at other kits i was like WTF they have them and I dont, so basically i got screwed. I know I can probly find it @ napa but i dont know the size/thread and lenght and so many things. Hopefully someone here knowes it and can tell me.

I need this extension pice that is going to bo between the filter and the original mounting location.

Curious, where did you pick these up?

 

Just simply take the piece with you they'll just look at it and go grab you one that will fit no big deal.

 

What kind is it and where did you buy it from?

thats what I bought.... if you look at the sandwitch plate it is completly hollow and has no threads,,, i just need the extension piece

here is to a link with a sandwitch plate with the extension pice, it has one male end and one female end

go to summit racing mocal make a sandwich plate

 

the female attaches to existing plate and the thread u see on pic goes to oil filter.

 

Um I highly doubt it.... Then how thoes the sandwitch plate stay on? im pretty sure something screws into ware he exiting oil filter screws into and the nut piece in the middle holds the sandwitch plate in and the oil filter screws into the male end.

 

WTF went to a bunch of engine stores and car stores and came out with nothing! Im screwed basically. I have to dish out $70 for a whole new sandwitch plate that comes with that piece thats only probly $2

 

why not contact the ebay seller and let him know whats up.

 

heres what i bought to install my oil temp sensor: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQcategory...0z+oil+adapter

 

this wont work.... its complitly pass through and I will need to find more fittings.

 

I send him an email. he hasnt responded. but then again if you read what I said his auction didnt specify that it came with that piece.

 

A hydraulic fitting supply store could have that piece.

 

the one that fits is the M20 you probably got the 3/4 UNF fitting.

 

muzzy, what im saying is buy the piece and ditch the plate. youll get the male to female adapter you need to install your sandwhich plate to the car.

please do a review of this setup with your vortech, i may get one as well.

 

Heh, Muzzy I didn't even realize it was you. Go to Benz hydraulics, route 13, across form Hooters, just south of the airport in New Castle.

 

kool thx going now!

 

gotchia might have to spend $30 to get that piece.. lol aint it stupid how a fitting is Fing me so hard right now lol

 

Called glow shift inc. they sold me one of the fittings for $8 shipped! thanks for the leads guys!

got my self an oil cooler kit for $150 total ^^
