2) The One I Have: Uses the stock steel plate (with a hole in it), then a secondary aluminum plate is mounted on top of it -- with the necessary output ports and fittings in it. The reason I like this method is that the stock steel plate is hardened and I'm not sure the one from MCF is/was. I don't want the plate to wear.
I have had my MCF full flow system installed for over 25 years and is still going strong. I do like your setup though. I too have a problem with the naming of the 95% oil system.
