Duratec Remote Filter Kit - Quip or Not?
I am looking to produce a oil take-off plate similar to the one on our own install, CNC'd aluminium jobber to allow the use of a remote
filter.
Question is, on the fittings side of things I was happy to use standard BSP type hosetail fittings and the mocal rubber hose. However those more
tarty/motorsporty types may want aeroquip. Problem is of course, aeroquip is NPT.
Therefore I need to decide which way to go with the tappings into the take-off plate. So I'm just looking for a bit of feedback as to which
people prefer? Cheap simple BSP/rubber option or the more expensive but undoubtedly more professional aeroquip?
The plate will also cater for tight FWD installations where the front crossmember is close to the block (eg mk2 fiesta).

the take off plates can still be a bsp thread like the mocal ones. then if you want aeroquip fittings you can get adaptors to suit. i thenk my
aeroquips were -8 with a -8 -1/2"bsp adapter!

I recently fitted sandwich plate for oil cooler on my mk3 Fiesta, i went for normal 1/2" BSP hosetail fittings and standard hose as i could cut
hose to length easy and terminate with MIKALOR heavy duty clamps rather than worm drive clamps, while aeroquip is no doubt better i couldnt justify
the price, but if you can get adaptors to fit BSP thread gives people the option

That has always been exactly my thinking on the matter. Would rather simple cut n shut hoses I can do myself as I've never been bothered about
the bling fittings and braiding. I've had a mocal cooler on my XR2 turbo with simple rubber hoses etc for 8 years of abuse.
The adapter point is a good one and has almost instantly swayed me to BSP. Sometimes I cant see the wood for the trees lol.
