Sorry, can't help with that, but I am wondering why you need one at all. With my Hilux, I was able to just get a shorter oil filter. Sideshow sells them for $20, but apparently filters from Subarus (WRX etc) have the same configuration, thread etc and are the right length. I initially was going to relocate my filter also, but Sideshow has been running his stubby filters in his 1UZ for over 120kms now over 3 or 4 years, so they obviously work OK.
