will get me out of trouble, where the f**k sells these things???

i have stuff at work but nothings really right.

will probably get away with air fittings if i use enough thread tape.

Dude don't be a tight ass as you will regret it, if it comes loose or fails you can not only kill the engine but dump oil all over your rear tyres and put it into a wall.... Sorry for the lecture, but do it right man :yes:

Matt, just read your comment on the jb clutch.

Haven't driven with my yet, but engaging/disengaging = worlds of difference. Just more feel to it already with the modified spring.

I haven't driven it properly, just cruised around the streets to bed the suspension in ready for the alignment tomorrow... Cars running like shit :/

Clutch is amazing, flutter is hektic uleh and gate is loud :D

its not a matter of being a tight ass, its that id be paying half of what i paid for everything for something worth 5 bucks. its a simple piece that should be common as. i think ill check out a few other places on wednesday as he only looked through like 10 boxes of stock :S

Ok so the sandwich plate goes between the filter and thread that the filter screws onto. There's a hole in the sandwich plate for the original thread to go through. The hole in the plate is also big enough for a round fitting to screw onto the old thread, that centers the plate and tightens it at the same time from the hex that is between the female and male threads.

The male thread is on the other side of the hex that sticks out of the sandwich plate for your filter to screw down to
