Removal of the oil filter relocation stuff

I built this oil filter relocation kit some time ago. For my first adventure with such things, it performed really well. There were some leaks, but relocation, pressure sensor and temperature sensor were a success.

Only thing that annoyed me was the resonance. I attached the oil filter bit next to the fuel filler hose, which got the whole fuel system resonating.

For the replacement, I just got this generic chinese made sandwich plate and decided to get rid of the whole relocation stuff.

The braided hose for the pressure sensor was perfect and i was able to mount it on top of the engine. The sensor is on the heavy side and I felt it could break free (and crack the aluminium) if left attached just to the sandwich plate. I did some heat shielding with 3M aluminium heat shield tape.

Edit: I forgot to mention, the temp sensor wiring and pressure sensor hose went between the exhaust manifold and block, otherwise i wouldn’t made the heat shielding

I had to lenghten the wires for the electric parts, which I did properly. I found very nearly the same wire with same colors and did a top notch job. The wires were soldered with supports to eliminate possible cracking in shaky enviroment.
