Default Remote oil filter

I decided to go mad and bought the Marlin exhaust system looks good but expensive. After fitting I now find the oil filter fouls the manifold!
Anyone know where I might get adaptor plates to remote mount the oil filter?

If you've got an BMW M20 engine you can just unbolt it and turn it round 180 degrees. Some people do this on the E30 anyway so the filter it futher away from the manifold

I thought that the oil flow would be incorrect if i moved the position of the filter mount!
I will look at it tomorrow It would be great if that works.

Thanks Patrick

It seems that the oil filter housing can be rotated to any position you like and will not alter the oil flow at all. Have completed the 180 degree rotation of mine today it now dosnt foul the maniflod at all.
