Tim Bancroft Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Coudl anyone with a mocal kit fitted to their GT6 please show their installation.My old kit that I bought 20 years ago is leaking, I reckon the spacer block (I use the original oil filter bowl type with a spacer fitted) is cracked and I need to replace with a mocal spin on kit.Need to see what angles I can mount the oil filter at, this will dictate the angle the hoses come off the spin on housing.

Nick Jones Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Have you ever replaced the seals between the adaptor plate and the block? 20 years is a long time.....Spin on adaptor is probably a good move in any case.This reminds me that the seal fitted between my spin-on adaptor and the block was fitted 20 years ago.... :BDon't have oil cooler pipe on mine - sorry!Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velocita Rosso Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Yup. the two seals are prone if you dont get the right diameters(eg equivalents)GT6 User and abuser has all the set up for you to see , with the filter standing at 2oclock (pointing towards the bulkhead top)If hes sober in the morning will give you pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 Nick,Many a time, its weird I just cannot find the leak, but oil is flowing out. Bothe big seals have been changed and I have put copper washers onto the bolt that passes through the centre of the hoses.I cannot mount the oil filter sticking up at 2 o'clock, this will mean the hoses come out at about 4 o'clock. Think I will mount the filter at about 7 and put hoses on that have 15 degree outlets on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velocita Rosso Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 ......and his outlet hose is underneath eg at 8 oclock or 180 degs to filter ,on the same plain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Bancroft Posted March 28, 2009 Author Share Posted March 28, 2009 In some ways a remote filter might be a good idea, however all a bit tight for space.I bought a Mocal spin on kit this morn, fitted with some new oil hose I had lying around and all seems good. Thanks everyone for the good advice, as usual, top forum stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Bancroft Posted March 28, 2009 Author Share Posted March 28, 2009 Still having the rack column over on the left must make it better for a trick manifold eh!Looking forward to hearing how the latest works on the car have gone on Andre's gorgeous mk1.

AndreGT6 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Oh I have a few items to work on.Interior from Newton.389 diff swap with newish 1/2 shaftsDigital ignition system with electronic tach and shift light.Remote oil system and updated valve and crank venting stuff.Have some fun... Had some dirty thoughts recently about racing again, but they are on hold.Actively getting ready for vintage racing so not more money into the GT6. I will either be running a GT6 or Datsun 510.A.

Paudman Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Tim - what did you use for hose? I used wire-reinforced hydraulic hose, a bu**er to fit but not going to wear out in a hurry... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
