Zetec remote oil filter
Can someone recommend to me where to buy a remote oil filter kit for a 2.0l blacktop zetec please,also when fitted do they use the standard zetec
filter or do they need specific filters? Cheers Lewis

mocal kit on ebay 59 quid. More benefits than just clearing your steering rack

Bought sandwich plate and filter head from Rally Design and got pipes from Think Automotive. You can buy everything from Think Auto but Rally Design
are a little cheaper for the plate and head which is OK if you're ordering something else to combine the postage.
As r1-pete has said, think about where you are going mount it prior to ordering. You can get the inlets/outlets on right, left or top.
This is mine:
 
remote filter
Gives plenty of clearance:

Thanks guys,bizarro do you have part numbers of what you ordered? There seem to be a lot of different thread sizes and left/right flow ect,looks like
I need the same as your install.

From Rally design:
Remote filter head RFH3B

I already had the sandwich plate but I believe it is this (may be worth speaking to them before ordering to confirm):
http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=340_527&products_id=3381
Pipework from Think Automotive:
http://www.thinkauto.com/acatalog/On_line_shop_Push_on_hose___fittings_43.html
1 metre ½” push fit hose: FBN0800
2X ½” BSP X ½” NPTF nipple: MMS10-8-8
2 X ½” BSP straight: HEFP3-8
2 X ½” BSP 90: HEFP93-8
The oil filter is any Ford ¾”UNF, mine is for a Focus. I took the filter head to local motorfactors and screwed a filter on to check.
Hope this helps....
