Another oil filter adapter question

I recently purchased a RV4 with a io320 and a constant speed. It has the ADF remote oil filter and I’d like to get rid of that and install an oil filter adapter. I have what I believe is a Casper but I can’t seem to get a straight answer about whether it will fit with the dynafocal mount or not. Any advice?

I fly quite a bit so I’m trying to avoid removing and installing the cowling a bunch while I try to find the right combination of parts.

The casper should fit but you will need to buy a spacer from them directly

You should have a look at removing those zip ties from the engine mount, dirt ,vibration will eventually cut through.

I had a Casper adapter on my 4 with an O320 and dynafocal mount. I think I needed a 3/4" spacer to clear the mount if memory serves.

The zip ties will be fixed the next time the cowling is off.

Will the GSM spacers work with the Casper adapter?

When you used the 3/4” spacer, do you remember what length hardware you used? Studs or bolts? Is there any reason to use the angled Casper adapter over the straight Lycoming one? I assume it makes less of a mess?
