[scrouch]

I understand Ken Miller no longer offers the angled oil filter adaptor.

Does anone know a reasonably priced source?

 

Thanks

B&C sells a nice one. None of them are cheap, it seems.

Steve,

 

Long-EZ luminary Jim Price suggested I buy the ECi oil filter adapter for my Lycoming O235. I did and am very pleased with it. Let me know if you need me to research the part number and price (under $200).

I bought the kit from AERO on the referral from a trusted source. I had heard about the adapter at that price from a number of people. But I hadn't considered the price difference in the make-up of the kit. (Been spending a lot of money lately. ) It has all of the gaskets, hardware and a drain valve. Nice.

 

I finally got around to doing the math of adding the various parts fo the kit and a warning light came on. I figured I paid @$90 more than I should've.

 

Aircraft Specialty Services listed it for $185, so I called them. They didn't have any in stock, and agreed to call the manufacturer to verify the price.

 

As I suspected, it was an old price. Their new price for the adapter alone: @$272 And the price of the Kit: @$310. So maybe I didn't get ripped off.

 

It's still less expensive than B&C's ($395), which doesn't appear to have the threaded port for the filter drain or the drain.

 

Here are the part #'s for anybody who wants to do more searching. If you REALLY find it in stock for the cheap, post your results for everyone..

 

Adapter: AEL22772-1

Adapter Kit: AEL105-1

I picked one up from ECI for $307.73 (kit).

Thanks for all the help.

Ebay User 'Vari-eze' has been selling his adapter for a long time for $259 with filter non-STC. I know a guy in Memphis who has one on his long.

 

Item #200143523637 on Ebay right now.

I did not know about the large price increase of the ECi part after I bought mine. Ouch! Too late for Steve but here's one for sale on the Van's Air Force forum:

Probably will be snapped up before I can post this :-(

 

It appears to come with a spacer which AFAIK is not needed in our installations.
