Franz Oil filter mounting on 06 Dodge

Well I finally got around to installing my Franz Bi-Pass oil filter on my 06.
I had some custom 1/4 in Teflon SS. lines made up at the local hose shop $60. Bought the Amsoil oil return cap to get the oil back to CTD.
Next I mounted it to the large fuse box on the driver side. I ran some aluminum strap on the under side of the box lid (thin strap to stay far away from the push in fuses) for extra support. Then mounted the Franz through this.

It is surprisingly solid. This appeared to be the most logical place to mount the filter, with out resorting to a custom made bracket to hang on the motor. The SS lines also snake around near the front at the top of the radiator support bar. There is a unused snap in holder there which works great to run the feed line to the filter
It is also a very good place to service with the Scotts single ply roll when it is time.
