I started with a Mocal sandwich plate and the machining wasn't that good. An hour with a die grinder improved all the flow paths and it worked fine for quite a while. It's eventual demise was because it became increasingly difficult to get a seal on both sides without having to really wind up the oil filter. In the end I just drilled and tapped two large holes straight into the oil filter housing, fitted oil line fittings, and blocked off the standard internal passageway. Means I can use a remote cooler but with the standard spin on filter... works fine so far :-)
