Drilling and tapping the RS oil filter housing

[micky_vr4]

I'm looking at chucking an aftermarket oil cooler on the RS and I happen to have an oil cooler sitting around the shed with -12AN inlet/outlet on it.

Does anyone know if there is enough material on the Japs spec/RS oil filter housing to redrill and tap -10 or -12AN threads into it?

I'll probably just get a relocation kit, but this is just a thought at the moment...

Cheers,
Mike.

pull the housing off and weld straight on. the male to male adaptors will reduce flow...

might as well stick to the banjos..

that sounds pretty reasonable Baz, might have to give it a go...or just stick with the banjos
