Looking for an oil filter relocator

Well... But for your case of having the engine out, you are probably right. I have the BSP kit and the problem of the yellow plastic rings around the tubes melting. Does not seem to leak noticeably, though.

I just installed a kit that I bought from PBC

However, I think that's the Mosskit. It did take them a couple weeks to get it in. One thing that I noted. They tell you to crank down the adapter with an adjustable wrench. But when I tried to crank it down, I couldn't get it to go around the last 120 degrees or so, so that the hoses would clear the manifold brace. I mean, there was NO way to crank it down any more, without breaking off the nipple.

I ended up backing the adapter off until the hoses cleared the brace properly. It seems like it's a little loose, but it's not leaking oil. Just make sure you have the o-ring installed in the adapter. Mine was hidden under a flap of the box, so I spent some time looking for something to make it work.

You can do the install pretty easily if you just remove the plastic undertray (9 bolts and a couple nuts), and the manifold brace (2 or 3 bolts). I wouldn't worry about having the car apart too much. But if you've got the oil drained, you'll have to do it again. The kit comes with a new filter, though.
