Ordered new back springs 
Also there's a new CPS fitted - the old one had melted wires onto the exhaust which was causing some funky misfire problems. and a burning smell.

Did this to my renix. Filter is in a nice place and you can fit just about any size for 3/4-16.

Here you go on the oil filter mod.

An engine mount mod is not necessary but having good non-rotted mounts is necessary. If your mounts are completely worn out the filter may hit the frame or something else. I put new mounts in prior to doing this mod. You can see the new motor mounts in the pics earlier in this thread.

I dug her out and drove around in the snow on the un-plowed roads, got a little scare when I parked her and saw dirty snow dripping from underneath. Thought I had or caused a leak but I believe it was just old grease, dirt and antifreeze.
