I am looking to see if there is any interest in a replacement oil filter pedestal which will include two 1/8" NPT taps.



Made from billet aluminum, fitment is same as stock. The pedestal will have a slightly deeper oil resivoir below the filter to minimzie oil spillage when removing the old filter. The overall height of the pedestal will remain unchanged from stock.



Advantages:

-No more using a universal adaptor that rasies the oil filter which in return requires removal of components.

-Has two NTP taps for pressure and temperature.

-Minimize oil spill when removing old filter.

-Fits same as stock!

-Looks really trick!!



Here is a picture of the part.

a. price

b. Numerous versions of this are already out there

I am still working the pricing out which is why I did not post it yet. Besides if there is enough interest I will set up a group buy and the prices will be better. As a rough estimate probably in the $65-85 range.



Numerous versions? You want to enlighten me on these numerous other versions you speak of? I am aware of only one other stock replacement that FC3S.Org use to produce and I know they no longer produce these.

SDJ has one. Oh btw: It also has a feed port for the front bearing. Pineapple also has a similiar piece

Mazdatrix.com also makes a similar adapter for $85

I was doing some searching and saw that MazdaTrix no has a pedestal, which from the looks of it looks just liek the old Speedmachine.



banzaitoyota, could not find anything on SDJ or Pineapples. On the SDJ were does this feed port route to? Or how does it route to it? I don't think it is really desireable nor important. On a full out race car I could see value.

I wouldn't be complaining about having too many part suppliers, competition keeps the prices down.



Sorry about the small rant - In Ireland we're hardly spoilt for choice.

Dont get me wrong, I'm not complaining. I think his efforts are better off elsewhere

I never saw it on their page ( nor in there catalogs I have) since yesterday. No matter what I am not here to argue how long they have beening producing them what other companies are out there producing, I am here to see if any one is interested in the pedestal I am offering.
