John Mummert pictured a billet oil filter adaptor in late 2008 YBM.  John, was this a prototype, or do you have them in production?

That's right Glen, it's a direct bolt on that looks Great!!! and no gasket slipping out. I should know the price shortly.

Cool looking piece! I assume that you would still use the stock center fitting.

Here are some pics that Gary forwarded to me of the oil filter adapter being proposed by Charlie Dover.

Besides the extra thick gasket, the adapter kit Mac's has is a very heavy duty disc. Much heavier than the stamped steel.

Charlie Dover is remaking an Aluminum oil filter adaptor that looks Great that has an industrial O ring for sealing against the block. He's checking now to see what his cost are to come up with a price as he wants to start selling them as soon as possible. I've emailed Ted pictures of it and its alot sturdier than the thin metal original and no gasket slipping.

I believe this should be a new thread and Ted hopefully can start one and post the pictures as well.                                  This adaptor should take care of the problems we have with the old one. I am running one on my 56 sunliner and so far it's doing great. The aluminum adaptor is only .028 taller than the steel one

Mac's has the thicker gasket. I just bought a couple. I emailed Prestige about it, they never answered.
