Fitting a KleenOil bypass filter

Well, I have just finished fitting a Kleenoil bypass filter to my 1HZ Landcruiser. First problem for me is that SWMBO will not allow me to drill any holes anywhere. (This is a legacy from my (our) first Shorty back in the ‘70s which ended up like a sieve as I fitted and later discarded all sorts of accessories). It took a couple of days to fabricate a mounting bracket using existing holes under the bonnet. The only other alteration was to re-bend the mountings for the brake vacuum tank to make a bit more room. With the filter installation itself - The return hose goes to a fitting threaded into the oil filler cap – (remember not allowed to drill into the rocker cover). The supply to the filter comes off the oil pressure sender. I thought I had found it but when I unscrewed it green stuff came out – try again. Finally found the sender below and to the rear of the filter. When I removed it and fitted the supplied adaptor there was no room to refit the sender unit as it now fouled the starter motor. I used an 1/8th NTP elbow to get the sender into a better position. Assembly of the hoses and all other fittings as supplied were spot on. I ran the engine for 15 mins, no leaks appeared and the return oil line got warm so it seems to be working. With the price of oil going up so much I should hopefully cut back changes from 5k to 30k a savings of 83% on engine oil.
