AN-10 lines and Oil Filter Housing

I searched but couldn't find anything. Has anyone had luck setting up AN-10 lines to the oil filter housing? Doesn't seem like there is enough room to get the adapter in there flush. I'm trying to setup an accusump and this is the last obstacle I got (I think!)

If anyone has had success please post pics and details!

Thanks,

Rubin

I have zero idea how you're going to fit a -10AN fitting on the return side of the OFH.

There's basically no space there to begin with, and there's definitely not enough room between the OFH and the engine block itself. I guess you could weld a flush AN fitting onto it with a 90?, but personally, I'd recommend buying a new OFH for that.

Considering the porosity of the metal and the fact that there's likely oil embedded in the pores, I'd be concerned about getting a clean, reliable weld.

Luckily a OFH isn't to expensive.

I think I got it figured out, Rogue & VAC have adapters, I used that and a 90 degree fitting and think I am in the clear.

Ideally I may get a hydraulic line company to make me a new hose with provision for the check valve and dump to my accusump.

I'll take a picture of what I did, fingers crossed I am in the clear.

that's cool, I wasn't sure if there was a sandwich plate that could go between it. I know the N5X has one.

waiting for pics
