Have you considered an adapter similar 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 adapted to an adapter. :-) I'm seeing it extend either to toward the filler neck with the filter above it, or at right angles to the engine center line, allowing the filter to hang below it. Machining should be fairly simple on a 1" thick, 2 1/2" wide x maybe 5" long bar. > > Anyone have a 3rd gen filter mount they'd like to sell? > > Charlie > > On 10/27/2013 10:52 AM, Bobby J.
