Anyone who has relocated oil filter- Advice??? I'm about to relocate the oil filter and install an AccuSump. Would appreciate advice about braided flex oil lines.
Summit lists Earl's Auto-Flex hose with no PSI rating as well as Aeroquip hose with 1000 PSI rating which is less expensive. Pegasus lists a braided oil line (no-name) that is even cheaper.
I'm looking for the best quality braided oil line hose and AN fittings regardless of cost. Thanks for any advice.

Re: Anyone who has relocated oil filter- Advice??? Post some pics and instructions for that; I'd love to have a remote-oil filter (Away from exhaust heat!)
Are you gonna go with dual filters, or just one?

Re: Anyone who has relocated oil filter- Advice??? Thanks for the TTT, Colonel. I just talked with Canton (the AccuSump mfg) and they say that either Earls or Aeroquip will do in size AN-10 or AN-12. Guess I'll use Earls hose and fittings.

The filter and AccuSump will go where the battery was. I have the filter and adapter, AccuSump on the way. The filter is a single from Canton Racing Products http://www.cmfilters.com - http://www.accusump.com The filter housing is machined aluminum 6" tall. The filter element goes in at the top with four allen head bolts for easy replacement and flows 15GPM with 8 micron filtration and no loss of pressure. They also have a coarse filter element and you could most likely run the two in tandem. The adapter is machined aluminum and has 1/2"NPT openings for in and out.

Re: Anyone who has relocated oil filter- Advice??? I just used the generic relocation kit from Permacool. It comes with hoses and everything for about $50. Works great. Relocated mine to the front. Mounted to the side of the frame under where the A/C cannister is. You can see the top of it near the bottom of this picture:
