Unfortunately I did not measure my setup before I bought adaptors.  At 
least with a KH motor the oil filter housing is M16 x 1.5 not M18 x 
1.5.  I am 99% sure the MC is the same.

I should have realized it earlier since Kent you stated 5/8" worked for 
you and 5/8" is only a few thousandths smaller than 16 mm.

On the plus side I did get my Setrab mounted behind the four rings.  I 
think this was the only space left under the hood.  I will put some 
pictures on my web site soon.

Well time to order more adaptors...
