Are we talking about the same kit? Mine IS plug and play, I didn't have to cut anything. Unscrew stock filter, screw on adapter, run hoses, wham, bam, thankyou mam.

In the not too distant past, Trans Dapt had two molds of the block adapter and Mold 1 was a perfect fit. TD no longer makes Mold 1. You must have had a Mold 1 design.
Mold 2 will work but is alot more shallow so it required cutting down the block oil filter nipple about an inch.

Don't forget to torque down the mounting boss when you remove it to cut it down if you have to ... 60 lb/ft. IIRC. and takes a 12mm hex adapter IIRC as well.

The FRP adaptor is actually a common brand product, with their name on it. If I remember when I get home, I'll look at the instruction sheet... which says the actual company.

I cannot stress enough if your going to buy the kit, ditch the rubber hoses and buy steel braided! Trust me on this...
Meh, Ive had the kit for a little while now with the rubber lines, with no issues. Considering the prices of aeroquip fittings and such, it would double the price of the oil filter relocation. So far the only person I know with the stainless lines are dion (who loves them). Does that mean that everyone else (me, todd, ryan, etc...) are wrong to use the rubber....

BTW- What do you think is under the stainless braiding? RUBBER! All the braid does is help prevent rubbing. All external oil lines for aftermarket coolers etc should be changed every 12 months.

Most braided lines have a pretty high heat tolerance as well. Better than plain rubber.
It would easily double to triple the price of the relocation to do braided. I bought 3 ft. of braided line and some fittings for each end, and it was way over $50. I think just the 3 ft. of hose was that much, then figure about $5-10 a pop for each fitting, of which you will need at least 4 to change everything from AN to standard or metric thread sizes (for ONE hose). It adds up quickly. Though if you have the money. . . . .
