Billet oil filter relocation plates. - dieselboy - 02-11-2011
I'm interested in a billet oil filter relocation plate. Super simple.

Me Too!! What would that cost and how long to get it?
RE: Electrical/mechanical prototyping, short run manufacturing services. - 300D50 - 02-12-2011
Still have to work up a quote, should be early next week I'll have an answer.

Thanks for the quick reply. This is something I have been tring to do and figure out before I put the engine in the Car. This would alivate making a mess on the newly Painted car.
I have got time though as I just started striping the molding and interior!
RE: Billet oil filter relocation plates. - 300D50 - 02-15-2011
Just got a quote on the stock, we are good to go.
Here's the rundown.
I'm looking to use USPS flat-rate for shipping, so shipping will be around $5.50 domestic, $14 or so international. I can use other options if you would like.
$25 gets you one plate, 1/2" thick, with your choice of size and treatment on the inlet/outlet holes.
Shipping will be invoiced along with the order, if you are international, I'll invoice the difference.
I can thread the holes, or leave them un-threaded for weld-on bungs or for you to tap yourself.
Turbo oil feed ports and gauge ports are doable as well, just let me know what you need. As long as it's not something complex and exotic, there will not be extra fee.
I'm looking into getting the needed bolts to replace the stock Mercedes ones as well, I should have a quote on them by the end of the week. If it's cheap enough, a bolt pack should be about a buck.
I can work with metric as well, so if you want a metric thread let me know and I'll tell you if I have the tap or not.
Since I can't embed a PayPal button directly, and I don't feel like posting an email for spam-bots, here's a link to the page with the button.
EDIT:
Stock has been ordered, prototype is finished.
Resting on the filter housing, short bolts in to keep it from sliding off.
The holes are the same size as the existing ones in the filter housing, so alignment should be the same.

Next to the print template, there is no flash, the surface is just that reflective.

I'll throw it on my block when I get home for a final test-fit.

Sorry for the crummy pic, this thing is too shiney to take good pictures of unless the lighting is perfect...
I have to adjust the hole center for the outlet(perfectionist that I am...), that's waiting on a good gasket from Rusty.
Stock is in, getting picked up tomorrow. Ended up getting a better deal on it, so I can shave $5 off the price, down to $25 a plate. The pre-order/order button has been adjusted for this.
RE: Billet oil filter relocation plates. - Captain America - 02-17-2011
I want the filter housing off the motor just to play with the pump, But I cant think of a good spot to relocate it...
RE: Billet oil filter relocation plates. - dieselboy - 02-17-2011
Sweet! I'll be sending money your way soon! 2 with the 1/2 in/out.
RE: Billet oil filter relocation plates. - 300D50 - 02-17-2011
Jesse, I know that feeling! All profit from this will very likely (near 100% certainty) end up going straight back into the engine...
I'm also willing to trade for like-value in parts, so that is an option if you happen to have something I might need/want.
:ninjaedit:whoops, you edited your post before I hit submit!

That's a good question, for which I have the universal answer of "hm, got fender?"
The one issue I can see with remote mounting the existing housing is the hardlines for the oil cooler, they might need to be bent up a bit...
I can make a non-contoured version of the plate for the filter side, since clearances aren't an issue, and leave some overhang for mounting ears if you want. I can even drill and tap it the existing M8x1.25 thread, so you can reuse the bolts.

Yeah I imagine there might be some extra room somewhere... I just need to look
I think new oil cooler lines would be a good idea since they are known for failure anyway.
That plate with ears is a great idea!

What about that small drain hole below the lower port?

You mean the bypass line? Yep, that's as easy as punching another hole, and dropping the tap down it.

Industrial grade sanity, some gold bullion...
Back to the real world, I'm looking for spare engine parts mainly, a spare waterpump housing, possibly a good MW IP as a spare (that would be for multiple plates, I don't expect to trade one plate for a pump, that'd be insane...), possibly a turbo crank and oil pump if they'd fit an NA block, etc. Surprise me, ya never know.
RE: FS: Custom Billet oil filter relocation plates. - Captain America - 02-18-2011
Well Ive got two turbo engines!
RE: FS: Custom Billet oil filter relocation plates. - 300D50 - 02-18-2011
For parts, or working? I'd hate to steal parts from a working engine.
RE: FS: Custom Billet oil filter relocation plates. - George3soccer - 02-20-2011
Hey 300D50, im interested just need to clarify a few things with my motor.
I have a 603 from a 88 300D.
But I threw this motor in a w201 190E. So I would love to relocate the oil filter housing, just doesn't like to be in that engine bay, it seems like.
Do any of you guys know if this plate will fit the 603 motor, I actually don't think so, but who knows.
RE: FS: Custom Billet oil filter relocation plates. - 300D50 - 02-20-2011
Not sure, but a filter stand gasket or spare housing is all I need to whip a new plate up.
I wouldn't be able to test the fit on the engine though, since I don't have a 60X.
RE: FS: Custom Billet oil filter relocation plates. - 300D50 - 02-21-2011
Ok, we are 98% there.
Stock is cut, second prototype is finished, and it's time to double-check everything on the block once more.
Once the gasket is in, I'll have the bypass line and the block inlet (filter outlet) hole tweaked to match.
Production units shouldn't have the bolt marks around the mounting holes, I just didn't feel like messing with it this time around.

Again, sorry for the crap picture, I need to figure out how to light it evenly enough that it doesn't reflect...
RE: FS: Custom Billet oil filter relocation plates. - dieselboy - 02-21-2011
Just a late thought. I realized that the turbo feed is off the filter.
I'm trying to figure out what to do with that.
RE: FS: Custom Billet oil filter relocation plates. - 300D50 - 02-21-2011
It's trivial to add a turbo feed port/gauge port.
No extra charge for it, so don't worry.
RE: FS: Custom Billet oil filter relocation plates. - larsalan - 02-21-2011
to light evenly you need a soft box. like bounce light off a big white card or through a big white sheet. and move the light further away. But, metal like that is hard no matter what.
RE: FS: Custom Billet oil filter relocation plates. - 300D50 - 02-21-2011
Thanks for the tip!
RE: FS: Custom Billet oil filter relocation plates. - 300D50 - 02-22-2011
Uneventful test-fit last night, I can proceed to get the stock blanks faced and drilled now, awaiting final inlet/outlet work latter on.
RE: FS: Custom Billet oil filter relocation plates. - Captain America - 02-22-2011

For parts. One '82 and one '85.
RE: FS: Custom Billet oil filter relocation plates. - 300D50 - 02-22-2011
PM going your way.
Oh, and the gasket came in! I'm dead-nuts perfect on the filter inlet hole, the filter outlet hole is off by a bit. I'll have that fixed tomorrow, and should have at least 2 plates in the mail by the end of the week.
RE: FS: Custom Billet oil filter relocation plates. - George3soccer - 02-28-2011
Ok, deffinitly can get a oil filter housing gasket sent out to you. Would that be enought for getting a plate done up.
RE: FS: Custom Billet oil filter relocation plates. - 300D50 - 02-28-2011
I should be able to get it with just the gasket, might need a pic of the filter housing and block sides just to be sure.
RE: FS: Custom Billet oil filter relocation plates. - DeliveryValve - 03-01-2011
300D50,
Got the plate. Great job. Well made and very nice.... And cheap! Now to get some fittings and throw it on the engine in storage, and pump fresh oil into it.
.
RE: FS: Custom Billet oil filter relocation plates. - 300D50 - 03-01-2011
Glad you like it!
I try to keep my prices reasonable, my conscience does "bad things" to me if I don't.
Here's the plates that were made for Dropnosky, 2 filter-stand with mounting ears, 2 block side plates, all drilled for 1/2 npt inlet/outlet and 1/4 npt bypass lines.

RE: FS: Custom Billet oil filter relocation plates. - George3soccer - 03-04-2011
let me get back to you in a week with spring break around the corner. I can finally take the diesel out while it was buried under all that snow.
RE: FS: Custom Billet oil filter relocation plates. - larsalan - 03-04-2011
So, in you post #7 price quote is for a single plate. But, to relocate the filter housing away from the block someone would need
1 plate for block
1 plate for filter housing
some oil lines
misc hardware
sound about right?
RE: FS: Custom Billet oil filter relocation plates. - 300D50 - 03-04-2011
Yes, to relocate the oem housing takes a block side and a filter side plate.
To relocate with an aftermarket housing needs only one for the block.
You'll need five 25mm long M8x1.5 bolts and five M8 wave/star/regular washers for the engine side.
For the filter housing plates, I can tap the holes M8x1.5 so you can reuse the oem bolts, 5/16-18 for cheap standard hardware, or just drill them through. The mounting ears can be customized as well.
Hoses and fittings are up to you, since every situation is unique, and most hydraulic stores or NAPA stores can make them cheaper than I ever could.
I also am willing to trade, so feel free to ask.
Let me know If I forgot anything, I'm winding down for the day.
RE: FS: Custom Billet oil filter relocation plates. - dieselboy - 03-05-2011
Got mine yesterday. Look great.
I'm going to run a double filter head somewhere just don't know where yet. I ordered line -8 and the fittings I need from summit. Just need to figure out what to do on the oil cooler side of things.
RE: FS: Custom Billet oil filter relocation plates. - Captain America - 03-07-2011
So I guess my question is: Can you get rid of the bulky stock filter housing? I know it has the thermostat inside and I remember it having a few different functions....
RE: FS: Custom Billet oil filter relocation plates. - 300D50 - 03-07-2011
It does bypass filtration, has the cooler t-stat, and has a "clogged filter" pressure valve, that diverts around the filter in the event it's severly clogged.
That's what I know.
RE: FS: Custom Billet oil filter relocation plates. - Captain America - 03-08-2011
Man I used to have a PDF that explained everything it did with a cutaway shot ... Dunno where it is
Found 'em!
RE: FS: Custom Billet oil filter relocation plates. - JB3 - 03-09-2011
