I have been waiting for filter consoles to become available for some time but just got tired of waiting for the OEM style. I decided to make my own. You see retail of these around 175-200 depending on who is selling them and what model filter they fit.

I decided to make mine around the OC54 filter which is the common 74 and up 911 filter with built in bypass. These housings are being machined out of 6061 and will bolt to oem 914-6 tanks, my tanks, PMS tanks and 65-73 911s. I am going to offer these at a group buy price of $100 shipped. I am having 200 done so there will be plenty. I expect they will be ready in 6 weeks or so. Once they are ready they will retail at $135 plus shipping.

So who needs one? Let me know and we can handle all the details.

Thanks again for your support. Www.914-6werkshop.com

Posted by: mb911 Jun 20 2022, 03:09 PM

Ok great. I will see how many are interested and then probably have everyone send checks if that is OK? I will PM everyone at one time with details.

Great idea to make these as the original ones had corrosion issues and used prices have really gone up for ones in good condition,well done .
Any pics ?.

Posted by: Nate W Jun 21 2022, 08:54 PM

I would like one thanks

Posted by: mb911 Jun 22 2022, 08:19 AM

No pictures yet. Just approved drawings this morning . Hoping to start machining in the next week or so. They are similar to everything else out there with a few tweaks and of course no bypass like the original as the new filter (oc54) does that. I will also be buying oc54s in bulk to be able to sell with these consoles. That is not included with the group buy price but will be an option as well.

Posted by: mb911 Jun 22 2022, 08:19 AM

Will PM when machine time starts. This includes everyone so I have a firm ship date.

Posted by: BillJ Jun 24 2022, 05:20 PM

Still just one console for me.but will take 3 filters

Posted by: mb911 Jun 24 2022, 06:10 PM

Ok when I get closer I will let you know what I get for filters and pricing.

I will have pictures to share of the machining once it starts.

Posted by: worn Jun 25 2022, 10:24 AM

I would like one. Stock tank. Are you machining in house?

Posted by: Luke M Jun 25 2022, 12:34 PM

Hi Ben,

I'll take one for a factory 914-6 oil tank.
Thanks

Posted by: mb911 Jun 25 2022, 06:18 PM

The entire filter console is being machined by my local supplier. They do maching and laser cutting.

Posted by: mb911 Jun 25 2022, 06:18 PM

Ok sounds good.

Posted by: mb911 Jul 7 2022, 03:34 PM

They are done. Just need to pick up from the machine shop. Let me know if anyone else needs one. Pms will go out shortly.

I have a factory -6, stock oil tank. What is the filter console and why do I want/need one?

Posted by: mepstein Jul 7 2022, 05:12 PM

It’s how the oil filter attaches to the tank. Same as early 911. I don’t know if Ben is supplying the hardware but it’s generic metric bolts and washers. I bought mine on Bell-metric. I like the way Ben is using the later console design. Then the bypass is in the filter and gets replaced with ever filter change instead of getting gummed up in the console. It also takes an o-ring between the console and the tank. Check PET if you want to see the big picture.

Posted by: mb911 Jul 7 2022, 08:04 PM

@http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=10825 is correct. This is improved over the original design. I will be ordering o rings and hardware in qty along with the oc54 filters so they will be available as and add on kit for somewhere between 10-15 dollars more.

Posted by: mb911 Jul 7 2022, 08:06 PM

This is kind of what they look like.

Posted by: mb911 Jul 7 2022, 08:07 PM

I will post pictures of mine once in hand.

Posted by: mepstein Jul 7 2022, 08:24 PM

Yea, the oem console supply is drying up and getting expensive.

Posted by: mb911 Jul 8 2022, 11:14 AM

Here they are.

Posted by: mb911 Jul 8 2022, 11:16 AM

Posted by: mb911 Jul 9 2022, 11:13 AM

Ok everyone should have gotten a PM on these now. Let me know if you have any questions.

Posted by: JmuRiz Jul 9 2022, 04:49 PM

If it’s upgraded, I’m in...haven’t put my tank in yet, so now’s a good time.

Posted by: mb911 Jul 9 2022, 06:07 PM

It's for sure an upgrade and cheaper than any other option.

Posted by: sixnotfour Jul 9 2022, 09:26 PM

73 911 was the only year,,It was an upgrade moving forward all later 911 one-piece tanks use oc 54s..As All Porsche upgrades were..back in the day..full flow

They will be a bit more expensive.

Posted by: jc73-914 Jul 12 2022, 11:14 AM

Hi Ben, is this still available? would you be able to ship to Richmond, BC, Canada?

Posted by: mb911 Jul 12 2022, 03:54 PM

Yes I sure can @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=18769 you would have to pay the shipping difference.
