 +====== S&S Oil Filter Mount (1986-1990) ======
 +This billet oil filter mounting bracket (751510) fits any generator engine with 5/16" generator mounting holes and replaces the OEM 1986-1990 Sportster filter pad. ((https://​catalog.zodiac.nl/​en/​19-oil-tank-filter-line/​oil-filter/​s-s-oil-filter-mount-5335)) \\
 +The oil filter bracket seals off the cam chest and provides a convenient place for a spin-on oil filter. \\
 +The bracket is machined for easy routing of an oil cooler in all applications and accepts the stock oil pressure sending switch. \\ 
 +It does not have an oil pressure regulator built into it like the OEM filter pad does. ((A 4 liter V8 eater of the XLFORUM http://​xlforum.net/​forums/​showthread.php?​t=1359577&​page=88)) \\
