It's REALLY tight under the hood.... really tight.
When I first started scoping things out, I got spooked and thought I'd have to put the VegMax filter in the trunk. I hated the thought, because over time you're guaranteed to have a spill.
The issue with the VegMax is it will fit behind the driver's side headlight, but I won'tt have enough room to drain it when I changed filters. No good.
So, I decided to mount it so that it could be removed easily. When I need to change a filter, I'll just have to unclip it and lift it 6-8" to drain it. It'll also allow me to fill a filter right up, invert the mount and spin the new filter on.
Here's the bracket I made to bolt to the filter housing:
Here's the mount that bolts to the inner fender:
Here's the mount clipped into the bracket:
The mount bolts up to the inner fender, behind the driver's side headlight:
Here it is with the VegMax in place:
I also scoped out where the FPHE will go. Looks like this is a good spot:
