New Oil Filter adapter

[M20F-1968]

I have been doing some follow-up on my conversations with B & C from when I was at Oshkosh.  There is a B & C oil filter adapter that will work on the E, F and G models (and presumable the J models as well) with a 3" spacer under it.  The B & C part number is BC700-1 and is STC approved for the Lycoming IO-360.  The problem in the past is that there was only a 2.5" approved spacer which would not be long enough to allow the oil filter to clear the engine mount.  There exists a 3" spacer, but it is not STC approved.  It is made for the experimental market.  This is only because when      B & C  sought out the STC approval, they never thought they would need anything longer than the 2.5" version.   Apparently, there are a few E, F and G owners who have successfully gotten a field approval for the 3" spacer.  I would like to know if anyone on Mooneyspace has the 3" spacer and oil filter adapter installed as I will bee seeking approval to put it on my plane.  You can e-mail me here, or at john.breda@gmail.com, or call me at (617) 877-0025.

Thanks,
