Oil filter location
I may be exposing my ignorance here, but that's never stopped me before 
Is it ok to locate the oil filter above where it would normally go? I can't fit the filter where it should normally go on my Rover v8 because
there is some frame in the way. I managed to get a Mocal remote kit, and I'm trying to figure out where to fit the filter bracket. My current
thinking is as per the attached photo (obviously I will trim the hoses to fit - I haven't done that yet in the photo since this may not be the
final configuration) - however, it is mounted on the top rail which is considerably higher than it would normally be.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
KEv.

Placing it there will be fine, make sure the filter points down as per the picture and when you change fill the filter with oil before screwing up.

This part of the oil system is under pressure, so you're OK.
However, the hoses look like they're subject to chaffing - I've had an oil-line go under pressure and it's not nice.
When all you have is a hammer, everything around you is a nail.

Thanks all for the replies - that's a weight off my mind!
I agree that the hoses in the photo look like they're subject to chafing - rest assured I checked that when they're trimmed to size they
won't touch anything else.
