OEM + magnets on the housing (DIY).

I may machine my own adapter in the engineering depatment this fall. The LN tax is too high for me to justify.

pictures or did not happen...

What sort of magnets are you using? I see there are really strong ones in the market, seems like you want those that can pull the tiniest micron through housing+oil and account for fluid motion.

Group buy for the P-wave spin-on adapter?

If you do, see also about making one with an integrated port for an accusump that does not hang down as far as the LN Adapter + Canton Sandwich adapter (although that may not get you much since the LN adapter doesn't hang down all that much. ) But a combined unit should be able to save some height...
