I discovered that the 90 degree oil filter adapter will not fit with the B&C 20 Amp back-up alternator installed on the vacuum pump pad. I talked with Casper Labs and they confirmed that this is a combination they have been unable to make fit.
Does anybody with the B&C SD-20 mounted on the vacuum pad have the remote firewall oil filter kit installed? I want to make sure that will fit before I order the kit.
If anybody is interested in buying my Casper Labs 90 degree mount with the 1.5 inch spacer, contact me offline.

MAPA has a remote mount oil filter and the filters if you want to go
that route. I put it in series with my oil cooler on my Pitts.

You can get a spacer and replacement shear coupling for the alternator from BandC that will allow them to coexist fine. Talk to Bill and he'll know exactly what you need.

I was still very new to this whole process when I ran into the same problem.... after not receiving much from anyone, I got on the milling machine and fabricated my own.... I know that's not much help.... but in case my doesn't work, let me know what you find out.

Thanks Don. When I talked to Casper Labs, they suggested that milling the spacer to a custom size might work. I will let you know what I find out from B&C.

Thanks PJ. If B&C cannot help me, I think I will go the AirWolf
route. May just do that anyway.

There are several RV-10 folks with the B&C angled oil filter adapter and SD-20 combo. Specific problem is that the oil filter adapter requires a spacer to provide clearance from the engine mount. When that is done the filter adapter interferes with the body of the SD-20 alternator. B&C has a package "kit" for that situation. The kit includes replacement studs for the vacuum pad, a spacer for the SD-20, 2 gaskets and a replacement shear coupling for the SD-20. It's a bit of a pain when the engine is already installed but pretty easy if not yet hung.
I'm very happy with my install of the above but frankly if I was doing it again, I'd look hard at a remote oil filter instead. While the angled filter gives you better access than the stock setup, the remote filter would be a HUGE leap forward. You add complexity, fittings, hoses, weight, etc. with the remote solution but in the end I suspect the price is about the same (angled oil filter adapter + SD-20 spacer kit together about equal to a remote solution) and access would be even better. There is a lot of space available on the lower right portion of the firewall for a remote oil filter mount.

Bob, I know we had this conversation at the show. I will be installing
the SD-20 and understand that the stock oil filter mount probably
works. But most people seem intent on replacing the stock mount with a
90degree bracket or remote bracket.
Can any of you flyers with the stock mount comment on the servicability
of the stock location and the desirability of an alternative?
BTW, those of you preparing to discuss this with B&C - I talked to Bill
during the show about the problem with the SD-20 and the 90degree
mount. He professed total ignorance of the problem (?). My guess is
that I wasn't precise enough in describing the conflict... but you'd
think he'd know what I was trying to talk about since they are both his
products. Be prepared for initial denial.
Thanks for the insight here Bob.

Don't know what the magic words are (maybe IO-540 instead of RV-10) but a Colorado Springs RV-10 builder friend of mine just got the SD-20 spacer stuff from them about a month ago.

Bill,
Having done hundreds of oil changes in the last 25 years, I can tell you
that if keeping the engine clean is important to you, you want the 90 degree
adapter. That's what I have. The remote firewall mounted unit would do an
even better job but I skipped it for cost and weight considerations. Also,
I don't have anything on the vac drive pad.

I know I have posted this in the past but note that Mattituck TMX engines come standard with a 2.5" spacer with the included angle oil filter adapter. I've seen installations of the SD-20 on these engines with no interference. Mattituck offers this separately for $282. You may want to go with the Mattituck 90 degree adapter rather than the B&C adapter since it eliminates the interference issues and is less expensive. The Mattituck version is PMA'd/STC for $282 where as the uncertified B&C version is $395 + $53 for the 2.5" spacer.

I spent the weekend studying this on my engine and have come to the
conclusion that I am going to go with the remote oil filter. There is
plenty of room on the lower right firewall, as Bob notes, and a
little extra weight up front might not be such a bad thing for me
since I have the air conditioner in the tailcone. I also know from
experience on the old Bonanza I used to own in a partnership, the
remote mount makes oil and filter changes a breeze.

Here's the info... I installed both Oil Filter Adapter and SD-20.

You will need the 1.4" spacer kit (FK502-1.4) $50.00 for the OFA and the
.75" spacer kit (FK710-.75) $90.00 for the SD-20.

I don't get it--you move the oil filter back 1.4 inches and then move the alternator back 0.75 of that 1.4 inches?
And after speding $700 on the SD-20 you also need to spend $90 on the 3/4" spacer for it? Do you still need the 3/4" spacer for the SD-20 with a 2.5" oil filter spacer?
Got any pictures of your install? I'm holding out hope that Plane Power will come out with a vacuum pad alternator. I haven't decided if I will have a second alternator initally.

Looking at your pictures below, it seems that the SD-20 would clear the oil filter adapter without the 3/4" spacer. Did you try the fit of the SD-20 without the 3/4" spacer?
>>> The spacer is needed. Nope, it's not cheap (can you say airplane?).
Also in the picture below you have two solenoids on your firewall. One looks like the starter and the other looks like a--master?
>>> The S701-2 XFeed contactor is just to the left of the S702-1 starter contactor in the photo (see attached pdf schematic).
Do you have the cable from your battery in the rear "always hot" to the firewall mounted master or is this for something else?
>>> Wires to the Xfeed contactor are only hot if the associated battery contactor is engaged thus allowing connection to the battery.
