    Oil take of plate

    Hi, could i use a oil filter relocation plate for the return on my dry sump by blanking off one of the holes? The filter take of plates are a third of the price of the single hole plates.
    Cheers😁

    Did you not get a Oil in plate with you kit ?
    I make my own for my dry sump kits
    But if you really wanted to you could always use
    A piece of 1/2 alloy plate cut out the profile and put a tapped
    -10 hole in it
    May not look as nice but will work

    very nice work orangepeel! What milling machine do you use? I'm setting up my machine shop and looking at mills but cant go too big as space is precious. Also that cam cover, is it a painted aluminium one?

    Thanks! I like to make as many bits as possible, not just cause im tight��
    I cant remember what its called, its from 1965ish. It does most things but would like a digital control. I painted the alloy cover with 3 or 4 coats of crakle paint and cooked it on top of the garage stove.
