Honda S2000 Creating an Oil Filter Stopper

It seems that the oil filter (element) of S2000 is often loosened. I haven’t loosened it until now, but since I’m doing Gymkhana, I decided to make it as insurance.

Regarding the hose band, the specifications are different, 64Φ when using an element made by an outside company and 79Φ when using a genuine element. Prepare a hose band that matches the element to be used.

The material is made of stainless steel. I chose stainless steel wire (1Φ) as the wire. This also serves as a rust preventive measure.

The L-shaped angle is fastened together with the spool valve. Since the bolt is 6 mm, prepare an angle that matches it.

There is no problem even if you do not attach the spring snap. I just thought it would be easier to make it removable during maintenance.

At first, I was planning to use the commercially available angle as it is, but I felt awkward, so I bought a suitable hardware again and bent it.

Tighten the angle together with the spool valve.

After connecting to the angle with a spring snap, fix the oil filter and you’re done.

I don’t think it is necessary to stretch the wire strongly because it prevents loosening. Please note that if the tension is too strong, the vibration will be transmitted to the spool valve and it will not be very good.
