Used a single filter version on my S-10 to clear the long tube headers (oil filter was captured, lol)! Works ok in my application. I had to use 45 degree adapters to get the angle needed to keep the hoses off the header. That was tricky to get the spin-on adapter plate to agree w/ the angle of the 45's offset. You won't have this issue, I assume. It's the big ford filter.
don't think 45 degree adapters are included, where did you purchase them ?
no, they aren't part of the kit. the napa store nearby has a hydraulic hose section, they were brass hydraulic fittings, fit ok, but I did use a wad of carefully applied teflon tape and they still leak about one drop a minute. I just live with it, as it was a PITA to get them tight and pointing the right way after the plate got tight. it's just a play truck that makes a dump run about once a month and a trip to the yard engine shop once a summer...
but the hose clamps supplied w/ the kit are suspect. one busted on me today. buy some regular sized ones, the minis supplied wasted a change of oil all over the ground...

You can go to any plumbing supply house and buy street 45*s to go directly into the base plate. While you're there buy a small container of LEAK LOCK pipe sealant. Use it instead of Teflon tape.

yeah either a true plumbing place (home depot doesn't count) or you can order online from places like summit or McMaster carr. For these type of projects I usually make a mcmaster order.

That's why I didn't say HD.
He could try Ferguson Supply,Colemans,Coburns,ACE Industrial Hardware. We used to buy fittings and pipe from Fergusons and F&P Supply for all of our industrial/commercial pipefitting needs.

I used liquid thread lock agents from a variety of well known name brand suppliers, (but not leak lock), and wasn't that impressed with them. Of course, this was industrial maintenance applications w/ 600 psi air and 3300 psi hydraulic oil.

We used this product on a job at Kennedy Space Center (NASA) in Florida.

I prefer and have good luck with teflon tape in 99% of situations. But in a situation where I don't want to use it, I have used permatex "high performance thread sealant" with good luck.

I only used Teflon tape about 60-70% of the time. Depending on the job,I would use Rectoseal #5 for gas piping,or #15 for oxygen piping.Most of the time I used LEAK LOCK. Expando for a bullet proof seal. Permatex is good for general automotive items.The pipe dope/compound I used was for big time industrial/commercial applications. I would use it in my automotive piping/threads without ever losing a wink of sleep.

Small world. I stopped at the VAB to pick up small quantity waste under the labpack exemption. Mostly just TEOS in various applicator bottles, lol!

No. I worked for a hazardous waste incinerator company (since gobbled up by Waste Management) called Rollins Environmental Services in a small subsidiary called Rollins LabPack. Basically I drove a truck monday and friday and packed waste/slung sludge during the week. It was good work that I enjoyed. But WM laid us all off. Mob run [censored]. KSC was an every quarter stop when I worked out of Charlotte, NC.

When I saw the NASA building pic you posted I thought you worked there. I worked there as a contractor,and let me tell you,security is strict! We had armed guards assigned to us all day long and everywhere we went. They never talked to us and never smiled. We were breifed for a couple of days before starting the job. If someone got out of line or did something wrong (according to NASA) they were detained and escorted off the site with instructions not to come back!

Well, you haven't seen strict security until you work at a DOE special nuclear material site. Same company, go to Y-12 at Oak Ridge, the wackenhut guys hold m-16's on us as we open up every single 20 gallon fiber drum and pour every single bag of vermiculite into them. About 200 drums and 100 25 lb. bags. Peeked into diesel tanks w/ borescopes, dog sniff the whole truck, stand at port arms during pack out. Crazy.
The last KSC trip I was on was cool. I hadn't been down there for a couple years as we had opened up a Jacksonville office for the whole of Fl. So I fly into J'ville as the guy was on vacation. Girl doesn't like driving truck (this was an undergraduate degree required position) but that was OK she was a knockout! Do the Panhandle, gulf coast, hit Mote Marine Lab a few other spots and get to KSC. Call contact. Contact acts strange, asking my name again over and over. Finally get an inkling and just say to her, "well, my Dad worked here in the 60's if that's what your getting at..." (I'm a Jr.) She freaks out, was my Dads' secretary back in the Glory Days. He was on launch team for moon satellites Orbiter and Ranger, mission team for Surveyor. Nice older lady is fawning over us for whole trip, get to climb all over MLP, check out crawler from the inside, take elevator up and look at shuttle close-up hanging like a toy way up in VAB. Was really cool, took the better part of a day. Did pack-out, drop off waste at a TSD for dedicated truck to incinerator, stop off at Pirate Island to visit chick's friend who works hospitality there. 10/10 girl is [censored] at Italian boyfriend and takes it out on me...I couldn't drive the next day, LOL! Awesome trip was awesome. To be in my late 20's again...
