OIL FILTER MOUNTING PLATE ASSEMBLY

摘要

An oil filter mounting plate assembly (20) formed of two components comprising a plate (20) having a central polygonal opening (34) and a nut (24) having a polygonal periphery (44) configured to be received in the polygonal opening (34) in a press fit including lateral grooves (46) on opposed sides of the nut (24) forming a mechanical interlock with the plate (22). The nut (24) is internally threaded for threaded securement to the pipe communicating with the oil recirculation system of an internal combustion engine.
