Have you considered an adapter simil= ar to your remote mount, but a bit larger & drilled to allow mounting an old= filter mount from a 13B? I've got a couple that look like they could be ada= pted to an adapter. :-) I'm seeing it extend either to toward the filler nec= k with the filter above it, or at right angles to the engine center line, al= lowing the filter to hang below it. Machining should be fairly simple on a 1= " thick, 2 1/2" wide x maybe 5" long bar. >=20 > Anyone have a 3rd gen filter mount they'd like to sell? >=20 > Charlie >=20 > On 10/27/2013 10:52 AM, Bobby J.
