Oil filter adaptor bolt...where to get a longer one?

[XSVWGN]

Have spent the day going around wellington looking for a longer fitting. I went to 3 plumbing places and wellington biggest supplier/producer of brass fittings with no luck. The dillema i have is that the current one is about 5mm short to screw my adaptor plate from the remote oil filter relocator

Here are a few pics of the current item. Any one know of somewhere i can get one of these but longer without going to an engineer?

might help if you tell us the thread size and type.

[XSVWGN]

i would if i could mate. was told it may be an 18mm size and thread maybe Mx 1.125 or something...

Thats all i know

[levinguy]

if you have the right size fitting but just need a longer one, surely some local place could order one in?

[XSVWGN]

I went to a couple of places and they said the one i had was the largest size they couple get. Thought there must be somewhere else in nz (especially Auckland) that would have one

What's it from?

Most Toyota oil filters are 3/4"x16tpi (UNF) thread.

its from a ae92 4agze block

probmel being is that no one in welly has any. does anyone know if any other toyota ones are longer? may just have to do some pick a part missions...

The next question is are both sides exactly the same? Looks to me like the shoulder where the thread terminates is different on each end.

Could you use something like an adaptor the bolts on to the existing connector to extend it?

[XSVWGN]

thread is the same on both sides. Went through adaptors etc today...nothing fit

Then I suggest you go to an engineer as I doub't you'll find anything that will meet your needs off the shelf. They could make one up quite easily and it shouldn't cost that much.

threaded brass pipe braise a bit in the middle lol to assist tightning

[fivebob]

Don't use brass pipe if you want it to hold together, brass will fracture from the vibration. It needs to be steel.

isnt the standard one brass? been in the engine i took it out of for 15 years and hasnt cracked or been damaged yet...

[fivebob]

Not that I've ever seen, and the colour of the photo suggests it's steel with baked on oil discolouration. Try a magnet on it to check.

[XSVWGN]

magnet sticks to it. Just used a fridge magnet so its pretty weak but it works

seem to remember a 1ggte having alonger one due to having an oil cooler between the block and filter.

Not sure if same thread though

if there the same as mr2 style oil cooler blocks it will have a one sided thread not double. same to 20v ones.
