Hi, fellow rotary enthusiasts....We finally finished research and
development on the 90 degree oil filter adapter for the 13b.

Good work Paul. How much for the adapter?

Hi, Paul...The machinist said he charges $42.00 per hour, and it takes 3
hours to make the adapter, plus material.  That would put the cost in the
$160  neighborhood. When I look at what the Lycoming filter adapters cost,
or what it costs for the stainless hoses and AN fittings added to the cost
of the less expensive remote filter kits, I guess it doesen't seem so bad.
What I like most is that there will be no additional hoses or fittings to
leak.

Is it done on an NC mill?

One problem is it does not provide clearance for most tuned intake manifolds.

You are using a two into four intake manifold which I suspect will limit the HP.
