I’m using a full size filter. The filter really hugs the motor and sits horizonal above the torsion bar. There is very little room to work if it’s got issues.
I would love to have it remotely mounted someplace user friendly.
I am confused (not unusual) by your statement “The filter really hugs the motor”. If you are not using the 90 degree adapter would not the filter be sticking straight out from the block?
