			First thing is to 
			trim the center section of the adapter. I used a air High Speed 
			grinder with a small snading disk. Use caution to keep sanding disk 
			level, & not to nick the inside of the adapter.</p>
<p align="left">

			Not sure what the 
			starting height of the center section was, but remove enough 
			material so when measured, the height is between 0.310 & 0.315 
			inches. This is important so the adapter will screw on enough to 
			seat & compress the O-ring & oil will not seep out around it. (I 
			found this out the hard way)</p>
<p align="left">
			When trimming the 
			outside of the adapter, a lot of material must be removed to fit in 
			the space available. Leave just enough material to support the 
			O-ring, yet fit into place. This make take several trial fitting. 
			When completed, wash the adapter with brake cleaner, then soap & 
			water & use compressed air to clean & dry.</p>

			This shows the screw on adapter that comes in the kit. Check the 
			fit, as there are several adapters supplied with the kit. Follow the 
			instructions how to install this piece, I believe, when I had 
			everything fitted the way I wanted, I screwed the threaded adapter 
			into the oil adapter (that the hosed connect to).</td>

			<span style="line-height: 115%">You will need to 
			buy six U-bolts, various fittings, hoses clamps & some bolts & nylon 
			nuts. I made the Frame oil filter mount out of 3/16 flat plate. It 
			is approx. 9 3/4 inches wide & 3 1/2 inches wide (measure your frame 
			to get exact measurements). </p>

			</span>

			


			<span style="line-height: 115%">I mounted the oil 
			filter mount as high as possible. I used heater hose to cover the 
			oil hose wherever it may chafe or where a sharp edge may rub a hole 
			into it.</p>

			oil & gasoline rated hose at my local House of Hose.</td>

			This shows the oil cooler in relation to the radiator. I installed a 
			High Lifter radiator & there is approx. 1/2 inch space at the 
			bottom. It is closer at the top. I used some old conveyer belt for 
			cushion between the cooler & the radiator support at the top. More 
			U-bolts. The bottom cooler supports are made out of real thin sheet 
			metal, with a bent crease down the center to make it stronger when 
			bent to connect to the cooler. 2ea bolts & nylon nuts per side. I 
			put some rubber material between the cooler & the mount because of 
			the dissimilar metals.</td>
