Oil Pedestal Adapter...

ReSpeed has gone to crap as far as I know. RB sells one and you can get a sandwich one like Prosport sells. I'd suggest getting a full replacement one if you can (e.g. RB), but most people don't have issues with the sandwich ones and they're cheaper.

Thanks Jack, I'll have to look into that.

I was just looking at that one, and it seems that RB's site says they are incompatible with the FD due to clearance and fitting restrictions

Yeah, I was looking to them initially, but it seems like they've become unreliable (see Gunny's "Bad Guys" thread) in terms of delivering what they've been paid for.

If it weren't for the clearance issues noted on the FD, I'd go with the newer style RB/MT piece. Stay away from ReSpeed - word is out that they are not delivering what folks have paid for these days.

The one downside I've heard on the Prosport sandwich style is that they eventually leak. Reason is the sandwich design, which retains the stock oil filter pedestal which seals to the Prosport adapter with basically one big O-ring/oil filter seal. That seal will either break down or loosen up after numerous oil filter changes, resulting in a messy and potentially catastrophic leak.
