Full flow oil filter and tube headers

According to Macs and Snyders, the full flow oil filter kit below does not fit if tube headers have been installed.

Does anyone know if installing the filter adaptor below allows the full flow oil filter kit to fit? I am not anywhere close to my car, so cannot check, but it appears that installing this adaptor may help the filter clear the headers.

Does anyone know of any other off the shelf full flow oil filter kits available that are compatible with the tube headers.

Thanks in advance for your help.
 
I know what you are up against. I think this will work. The adapter you show may still interfere. It was two years ago when we were looking for options. If you use this system, think about the heat from the tube headers and how it may expose the connecting hoses. In our situation, this system worked rather well.

Price is currently reduced to $47.99

yes we have tube headers and use the remote kit mounted to the bottom of frame close to the front crossmember, so the hoses are only about 8 inches long works real well.

do not forget your pu is RHD so your headers will need to be custom (I only know of 1 guy making RHD headers)
To clear the steering box the tubes take almost al the room in front of the steering box so you need to find a completely different location for a filter
