So a few days ago I installed the aluminum adapter plate and it fit great! No more oil leak either. The original stamped steel plate was bowed and coated in blue RTV sealant. Think the PO used the whole tube! Anyway, the new plate is a great product. Thanks for everyones help.

Great tech info. Sounds like the adapter is the way to go. My mounting bolt is a bit rounded off. Looks like the PO may have had a leaking issue and figured it needed some extra love. I will order one in a few weeks. Thanks again. Don't know where I'd be without hese forums!

Here are a couple of links to recent threads discussing the aluminum (billet) oil filter adapters.

Apparently you can re-use the old bolt.There was a previous topic on these adapters.Ted has used them as well as a couple of others and were very happy with them.Solves the leak problem permanently from what I have read. 

  

Oldcarmark, your not kidding on the price and the price for a new bolt. WOW! But, Im a firm believer in spending money right, and once to do the job right. Think when I come back from vacation I will buy the aluminum one. Anyone have any experience with these?

Aluminum oil filter adapter-Ebay# 310343566086.Nice item.Wish the price was a little better.

  

It depends on your finances and personal desire. You will have to do the same amount of work to remove and replace yours as it takes to remove and repair. You already have a spin on filter adapter so I think I would do the Walt Knuckles trick and repair it. I've done it before and it works pretty well. Chuck

Ok so i checked today and it's the oil filter mount that's leaking. Is the fix you all mentioned worth doing or should I buy the new aluminum one on eBay? If so anyone have a link to that?
