Oil cooler install
Has any one used a oil filter sandwich plate ( a adapter plate that goes between the oil filter and the base plate)to hook up an oil cooler ? If so is it a good way to hook up a oil cooler ?

You mean like a jagg 4700 offset oil cooler adaptor?
I looked up what you referenced. Those seem to be for automotive applications. Look up the jagg one I mentioned. It comes all together. Fairly easy to install. Just pay attention. Very important piece.

4700 Offset Oil Filter Adapter with Automatic Thermostat The offset on this adapter is required for the TC88 and TC96 engines.
Make sure you get the AR-A or the AR-B Anti-rotation Device for Offset Oil Filter Adapters

Really cuz I had to take the filter on and off quit a few times cuz the unit with the AN fittings kept weeping and as tight as I had the adapter torqued that ***** was on there. I didn't like the bolts that came with the AR kit. The damn things don't have a real good head on them and I was having problems getting em tight enough compared to the original bolts. I even tried getting a different bolt at ACE and their a weird length so I said Frackit. If I end up eating my words I will put put it back on.

I installed the Jagg adapter with the thermostat and regular hose connectors along with the anti-rotation device and had no issues installing it. So far their have been no leaks.

I have installed three of them on my bikes. Simple and no problems. The first on is on a 07 FXSTC then 10 Ultra and the last was on a 10 Dyna Super Glide.
The instructions that HD includes with the kit is clear and easy to follow.
The filter adapter that holds the unit with the thermostat must be torqued to specs.
Many forget to take the film off that covers the adhesive to stick the gasket in place prior to torquing the unit down. That may cause leaks. Not torquing will cause leaks. Not rotating the unit to the proper position will cause leaks.
Just follow the instructions any all will work out.
He is a pic of the 10 Ultra coming down on the hoist after installing. I did post on the touring section some time back with pictures of the install. This is the only pic I saved.

Believe me if that filter sticks you will be cussing yourself.
