<p>I think it is possible. I have to purchase a thermostat of sorts, it is around 300 dollars and the adaptor was about 400 I think. Decided to wait until spring to install mine. </p>

<p>Is there a viable option for a spin on filter system for an O-235 C2C? I just want to add a spin on filter at this time. I'm getting ready to install my engine so I have plenty of time to work something out.</p>

<p>Ordered my oil filter adaptor from B&C yesterday, It came to a little over $400.00 with shipping. It does include a filter, gaskets, bolts and drawings/instructions but nothing else. I may still have to purchase an adaptor for my oil temp bulb which is a little over $10.00. I will still need to purchase the Vernatherm for $ 250.00 & oil cooler/hoses and fittings. Not a cheap modification, but hope it brings my oil tems into the normal range.</p>

<p>B&C was kind enough to send me a mock up adaptor & filter to try on my Lycoming 0-235 L2C, From looking at Don's photos I don't believe I will need a spacer block, but in the morning I will try a test fit. This project is not cheap.

<p>Hi Don, looking at your adaptor it appears to me your oil supply to the cooler comes directly off the oil filter adaptor. Is this correct? I have looked at the adaptor for Aircraft Spruce and talked to the sales department at B&C about their oil filter adaptors and there isn't a provision for an oil supply port. . there are just two openings, one for temp probe and one for the thermostat oil flow control.

<p>I bought the filter direct but it’s available at aircraft spruce. Can’t tell you on the hoses, you would have to mount it first anyway to get your specific lengths. I used a 3” hose coming off the baffles, pilot side rear.</p>

<p>thanks for the photos Don. Where did you buy your oil filter adaptor? What size and length are your hoses? did you use 2 or 3" duct?</p>
