Hi Guys

I tried searching for instructions on how to mount a remote oil filter "Beehive" in my truck and how to connect it to my engine.There doesn't seem to be any diagrams for this! Does anyone out there have a diagram or really good picture to enlighten me on the topic? Even if somebody has a good description for me it would be most helpfull. Oh ya please tell of the "does" and "don'ts"! Guys who have installed usually have something to say!

I have a 235 in my 53 chevy 1/2 ton

Jim Carter says it installs on the firewall or inner fender. I thought that Jim Carter's style adapter-plate bolts to the back of the beehive and then you can use u-bolts to attach the plate to a stock intake manifold (just like a standard canister filter).

Patrick has at least two mounting adapters. I used one style (incorrectly labelled in Patrick's catalog) to install a beehive to an Offenhouser dual-carb intake (that intake has a boss with threaded holes for mounting a filter - on the forward "arm" of the intake).

You might want to hear from someone who has personally mounted a beehive filter with any vendor's adapter.

Thanks for the info, I'll contact Patricks for an adapter-plate! I thought that there might be a certain way to hook it up that might work better one way or the other.I would still like to see a photo of this hook-up maybe using a fenton intake with 2x1 setup!
