It appears the the 2.5" spacer could also be used (but not in conjunctio with an SD-20). That puts the filter about an inch forward of the firewall. The oil pressure hose feeding the 3 port manifold is close but shouldn't be an issue because it's secured with adell clamps. 1.4" is probably the best choice though - with the 11 o'clock version of the filter adapter it puts the filter about 5/8" aft of the diagonal cross member on the engine mount.

I have the oil filter adapter which is mounted at the 10 o'clock
position when viewed from the back of the engine. It is the ECI oil
adapter with the 1.4" spacer and I must say I love it. When the oil is
warm, I simply put a bucket on the floor with a hose connected up to my
quick drain fitting on the sump and let it drain overnight with the oil
dip stick removed. When I come out to finish it the next day and remove
the oil filter, it is completely empty and there isn't a drop of oil
that you could spill anywhere because the filter and oil adapter are
fully drained just by gravity. This makes for a very clean oil change
with no mess.
Thank You

That's great that you get a complete drain. Very nice.
I usually do my change all in one sitting, while hot,
so I wouldn't be able to drain that long, but it's a great
way to go if you can. I don't remove my lower cowl
either, unless there is something else to do at that
time.
Ray and Bob, I plan to be at the Boone Fly-in tomorrow
if the weather allows. Depending on a birthday party
schedule, and what we do with kids, it may be that I'm
only there early, and am gone by 10:30 or 11am, but
as long as there isn't anything weather wise that
is too bad, I'll be there.

Tim,
Hopefully I'll see you there. Right now plans are to fly over with a friend in an RV-6 assuming the weather is OK. We'll probably get there around 10:30 or so due to a Young Eagles event in the AM.

Revisiting this recent thread, if anyone has a vertical adaptor installed,
how do these filter adaptors fit with regard to the cowl when mounted in the
high-up, straight-back-to-the-firewall position?

Looking forward to Bob C's info on B&C's solution for the 10 o'clock posn
