did you cut those open?
thanks for the contributions
Take a die grinder to all the sharp edges you can get at on the Pac Brake kit. Sharp corners and oil flow don't go hand in hand,and after looking one of their kits over close,i'm not impressed with it,especially for the cost. If you haven't bought the Pac Brake kit yet,i'd seriously consider this set-up instead,but upgrade the hoses and fittings to 5/8" ( -10).Allows you to use the big old style 3/4-16 filters like the 30-8 filter. You get twice the filter capacity,and less pressure drop across the 2 filters.

Any farm implement dealer can make you hoses with pretty well any fitting you require,so the hoses don't present much of a problem. Even you guys in Aussie land will have a farm implement dealer,lol.
I get that and I appreciate the advice, but that does mean more work, more travel, more hassle hence more time I really do not have at the moment. I doubt there is a farm implement dealer within 100kM of me! And if they are the chances of them being open outside business hours is unlikely. I really wanted a simple bolt on solution that I don't have to even make up an attachment bracket for. I do however really like the idea of the twin imperial thread filters although they are not available to me in Australia in Royal Purple brand. My biggest concern with the Trans-dapt kit is where the two outlets end up when the screw on bit is tight. If they end up in the wrong spot when it tightens it will be very hard to get the right angle pieces screwed into it, and get the hoses to run easily. The Pacbrake unit you can place it where you want and screw the holding nut up.
What would be ideal is the Pacbrake engine end and the Trans-dapt filter housing. Which is do-able I guess, Trans-dapt sell the dual filter relocation base by itself as part number 1030. Would just need some adapters to make the Pacbrake hoses screw into the Trans-dapt housing and make up an attachment bracket. I reckon I could probably even use the Pacbrake attaching bracket and modify it to mount the Trans-dapt filter support onto it.
I wonder if the actual filters used with the twin kit can be a cheaper unit that I can easily get locally. Like these:
I still equate a gallon to the old imperial gallon,lol.
If you can get a 20-820 filter on the truck now,you'll be okay with a swivel end fitting,that screws onto a n!pple.Install n!pple onto filter adapter,tighten filter adapter down,then install the female swivel end hose fitting on n!pple. Post up a few pics of the bottom side of your truck showing clearances around the filterI get that and I appreciate the advice, but that does mean more work, more travel, more hassle hence more time I really do not have at the moment.

I did put photos up here of it on post 984, page 50. 20-820 won't fit. Still running a 10-48. I re-read your posts from back then to jog my memory of that kit and the swivels would probably work. Will go and do some more wok on it.
They are remanufactured. under licence and approval from Stellantis. They are sold as new vehicles. The process on the 1500 DS saw the steering rack flipped so the bulky section of it is directly under the oil filter. Makes it near impossible to get a bigger filter in there.
If you import a used car with the steering wheel on the left,can you register it and legally drive it.Here in Canada there's a pile of imported cars with right hand steering,and they aren't required to convert them to be legal.
We can for older stuff, but not new. I can import a '57 Chevy or a 1988 Chevy/GMC or similar as LHD. But newer stuff cannot be done. Holden had GMC Suburbans converted in Mexico from memory in the late 90's and sold as Holden Suburban as new vehicles. They also had GMC 2500 cab-chassis around the same time converted locally for Ambulance use. Ford were getting F250's converted in Brazil and sold here as new cars between 2002 and 2007. I almost bought one of those, I wanted a single cab 4x4 auto but they only sold them as a 6cyl diesel manual, I wanted either the 5.4L V8 or the 7.3L TD V8, I had to spend a lot more on a dual cab to get either of those engines with an auto box.
