Is there any particular reason why you want to move the oil filter housing?
What we in the RGB race series do is leave the filter housing in place and remove the bikes oil cooler and replace this with a purpose made take off
plate, this will then supply an external oil cooler.
We personally have had experience of using a 34 row cooler without problems

I run a BigCC take off plate instead of the standard oil cooler setup, this feeds a remote oil filter take off plate, which has a Mocal
thermostatically controlled oil cooler take off plate sandwiched between it and the oil filter, the oil is then cooled via a 13 row oil cooler, this
setup works fine.

Thanks for the replies i need to move the filter as its in the way of some exhaust mods, sausagearm i too have the bigCC take off plate just trying to
get my head around where to go next thinking of going to a stand alone filter plate then to a small 7 row cooler and back to the take off plate.
cheers for your help....

Get yourself one of these Mocal take off plates
That will give you the two ports you need for the oil cooler feed and return, they're on the left side in the photo below
Not the best photo to show it, but you can just see my relocated filter takeoff, sandwich plate and filter here
Hope that helps

You need a remote oil filter plate like the one below, it's not mine i just shamelessly stole it from the internet
that allows you to fit an oil filter directly to it, or you could fit an oil cooler sandwich plate to it, and screw the oil filter to the sandwich
plate.
like this
Not sure if i know them or not, do you have any photos of the Macs?

I know the one with the orange roll bar and chassis, the lad who built/owned it is BigRich on here, locely little car that one, i've had the
pleasure of being out on track in it a couple of times 
I don't recognise the other one but will no doubt get to see it at shows and trackdays next year.
Will go check my U2U#s now, see what's waiting for me.
