   Jerry,

   Do you see any problems mounting an oil filter to the rear beam at
   the is location? Three AN3 bolts. Thought I would ask before I drilled.

Paul,  please respond to Bobby's inquiry.   Jerry


It is not a good idea as it could cause the rear beam to vibrate.
The holes will cause a stress concentration. They always do.
This is never a good thing. The oil filter, full of oil, is heavy.

Best to mount it on the firewall.
