oil filter relocation

Ive exhausted my patience searching for a set of postings that were on the relocation of the oil filter. I thought it was in a Pettit thread but searching does not find it (it could have been on one that was deleted). At my advanced age, memory does not serve me as to who sold the "kit". So I will accept the flames if someone can just give me a hint.

You don't like the location now? I kinda like squeezing my hand in there and burning my fingers and forearm.

*back on topic*

I haven't seen anything like that on here before.

It's even worse than that with Phil's setup.

Anyone ever try this kit? Is it any good? Does it REALLY require you to use a Greddy oil filter?

I just finished installing mine last week. I like it so far. I'm using a (scratched up)K&N 1003 oil filter.

Find some one with a s/c then tell me about burning fingers and forearm.

What about yours? You should have the same problem. I just figured that I'd have Jiffy Lube change it but then I got worried that they may just screw it up so--------now I'm looking.

How about Royal Purple 5W30 as I have about 12 quarts of it on my shelf. I decided to take yours and MMs lead and do the distilled water and water wetter. What about the inner-cooler? The same with the distilled water and water wetter? If I'm lucky I may have that oil relocation kit here.
