RH drive car, looking for remote oil filter options

One of our Aussie friends can correct me if I'm wrong on this, but I believe that at this point (with the large center bolt/fitting removed) that it's just being held in there by the gasket/sealer- work around the edge with a hammer and brass drift and it should pop loose... looks like it's attached the same way a U.S. 90* filter adapter is held in place- just by the large center bolt, which you've already taken out. A couple of firm raps with a rubber hammer usually knocks those loose.

That would be absolutely wonderful! I'll give that a try tomorrow night after work.

an the adapter be rotated 90 or 180 deg

That's exactly what I'm hoping for!
