Has anyone fitted a remote oil filter to a V8S? If so what kit did you use and where did you mount it? Pictures please if you have them.

Thanks in advance thumbup

Is that an oil/water heat exchanger? Pretty neat - haven't seen one done like that.

Yep, a "Modine", came attached to a spare (Granada/Scorpio?) engine I bought.

I don't think so. I don't have that vertical bracket and it's quite tight in that area and very near the exhaust manifolds.

I had to make the bracket.

Everywhere is tight and close to the exhaust in an S wink
