Direct Oil Feed Installation

[Gelbster]

Benjamin,
You helpfully mentioned some difficulty with the oil feed plug location for your DOF project and I have a question/suggestion.
You said:
"It took my probably 5 minutes of searching to find the plug they were referring to, and it's not the easiest to get at because the air box and fuel rail are partly in the way. Not to mention your car is probably up on jack stands, so you need a ladder or something to stand on in order to see and reach the plug. The instructions show an allen wrench going into the plug for removal. This was NOT the case for my engine (2000 3.2). It turns out to be a T40 Torx". /5mm hex?
Suggestion:
Fit a sandwich plate and spin on filter. Take the oil supply from the sandwich plate.This isn't a new idea.It is commonly done for the oil feed to turbo retrofits.You can find a sandwich plate on EBay for less than $20.
Question:
Would this have been easier/better?
