Remote oil filter

I decided to go mad and bought the Marlin exhaust system looks good but expensive. After fitting I now find the oil filter fouls the manifold!
Anyone know where I might get adaptor plates to remote mount the oil filter?

I thought that the oil flow would be incorrect if i moved the position of the filter mount!
I will look at it tomorrow It would be great if that works.

Thanks Patrick

It seems that the oil filter housing can be rotated to any position you like and will not alter the oil flow at all. Have completed the 180 degree rotation of mine today it now dosnt foul the maniflod at all.
