Spin On Oil Filter Adapter POLL

[fredintoon]

Just trying to save some machining time

Hi TC,
I sent you a PM about this project but in addition, I just noticed you enlarged the 1/8" holes to 1/4" and six 1/4" holes equal one 5/8" hole, not the 3/8" in my PM. Also can you not flip the jaws in your 3-jaw self-centering chuck to save you the hassle of manually centering the work in your 4-jaw each time you set up?
Admittedly, unless it's a very good 3-jaw it won't re-center closer than 0.005" or so but this project don't have a precise concentricity requirement.

Okay folks, if the cost of this adapter can be made for around $25.00, how many people would be interested in getting/using one vs. their OEM??

T.C.

I plan to buy one and at $25, even better.

Did anything ever come of this? I’m currently looking for one and would like to chat with TC about getting one but TC hasn’t been online it looks like, since 4/10/2021.

TC no longer builds them. I have the info from him, but no way to make the parts. I may try to have a local shop build some later this winter, as I have an engine I would like to convert. The problem will be the cost. Probably going to be about $150, at a guess.

These are available $68.20 including shipping. However I have not used one on my bike. Vmax filter is the same as an XS1100.

Thank you! I messaged the gentlemen R/ the eBay posting. my XS is a 1980 and the eBay listing says that it is for 83 on. I offered to take some measurements if needed.

I think the ad means it fits '83-'93 Venture, and it fits all XS850 (therefore XS750), and it fits all XS1100.

I believe you to be correct. Though, trust but verify is the route I’m going. The description definitely could be a bit less ambiguous.
