I used the Perma-Cool Brand and ordered each part separately (no kit):
Part# PRM-1791, Remote Oil Filter Mount ~$22.00, and
Part# PRM-2791, Spin-On Adapter ~20.00.
I ordered them from Summit, but they are readily available from JEGs and others. I used hydraulic hoses to connect it up.
The instructions for the Spin-On Adapter say to oil the O-ring just like you would the O-ring on the filter.
"Install the adapter in place of the filter. Tighten by hand 1/4 to 1/2 turn past O-ring contact with sealing surface, about 20 ft lbs. (28Nm)."
Think about what you are doing with this piece of "pot-metal"!
You have
between 90° and 180° past O-ring contact, to line up one set of 1/2" NPT ports for your hose connections. In other words, the manufacturer is recommending
a 90° Range for a proper tightening specification.
(Seems reasonable to me that the closer you get to 1/2 turn (180°) past O-ring contact, the less likely you'd risk the O-ring leaking or blowing out.) Somewhere within that 90° Range, you should be able to get a set of ports to be acceptably positioned to install hoses that avoid the exhaust and any schaffing hazards, without over-tightening (and distorting or cracking) the adapter!
With many people, "The problem we have here, is a failure to communicate!" We've screwed stuff together for so long, that we can screw any thing! We don't need no stinking instructions! Let alone - read them! -- Comprehend them!
Hopefully, we're not just a bunch of back-yard mechanics.
"Don't tell me how to put on a' oil filter!
I know how to put on a' oil filter!"
C-R-A-C-K !!!
