(While I can't or don't wish to own the rights to the plans I have put here,I would like to think if someone uses my plans to make and sell these, that they would consider Car clubs and our web sites first before on line auctions)
Below are the plans I have drawn up for two different designs of adaptors. Design the screw on fitting to take a filter with an anti drain back valve installed inside it. Work in a filter that is common in your country and that will be cheap and available for a long time. The adaptors are to be sealed to the engine block with the factory or a replacement O-ring installed in the factory canister block groove.
The adaptors would probably be easiest made out of alloy block and both types have 4 or more holes spaced (shown on the plans as oval or round black holes) placed evenly between the centre adaptor hole and the outside diameter to let oil flow from the filter through to the block. These should be drilled roughly in line with the chosen filters drain holes, although this differs from filter to filter, it is not too critical. Oval or simply round holes will suffice.
These plans are a guide only and the thicker alloy adaptor could even be plumbed for a oil cooler installation or an oil accumulator for pre start up oiling etc. Engineering and plumbing supplies have hex nipple adaptors of various types plus one or more could be made from scratch. The alloy block that has the two adaptors screwed in each side, could have one large long tube adaptor screwed right through the body of the alloy block instead.
If the adaptor, or hex nipples, are to be sealed in place, use sealant or loc-tite sparingly.
