What application did this have? Was  there  a van remote cooler?



This was likely a modification to put the Corvair engine into  a VW bus. With 
the "Transvair" kit, originally from Hadley Chassis  Engineering then from 
Clarks, as well as the Crown Bus kit, the oil filter was  hung out the back in a 
precarious position. They suggested sawing off the filter  and doing just 
what you see here, threading it for hose adapters to remote it,  usually onto the 
rear part of the drivers side wheel well. Most people just used  the remote 
adapters that were on the market, allowing standard filters  (non-Corvair) to 
be used. I built one of these for a 1968 VW Campmobile and  remoted the filter 
to the wheelwell. My wife and I drove it to the 1975 Corsa  Convention in 
Seattle, stayed in it at a campground nearby, then drove into  Canada across to 
Baniff and Calgary, Alberta. - Seth  Emerson
