I have the same set up, but mine leaks (weeps) oil. Did you have to put any additional seals on the sandwich to keep it from leaking?

Hi Boss CJ 351 - Mine has not leaked yet! - i screwed it on pretty tight - and I dip my new oil filter in my old oil (catch tray) to moisten up the rubber seals b4 I screw it on.

Sorry yours is leaking - you could easily silastic around it each time you change your oil - may take a minute or 2 extra - but to have an oil leak free jeep = priceless lol
cheers Hunty

It was leaking from the additional ports. This weekend I'm gonna try again. Maybe with a little more patience.

Hey Boss Cj 351
Sounds to me to be an easy fix - just get some Plumbers white Thread tape and wind on a few turns around the extra port blocking bolts and Voila - NO MORE LEAKS!
should only take a few minutes

Anything with 3/4 unf-16 threads will work with our jeeps?

Just ordered the parts but what is everyone else using for a mount? I have an A pillar switch cluster by Rugged Ridge and was just gonna drill a hole and mount it there. I kinda want to stay away from double sided tape. Thanks Guys- H
