I don't have a pic but can tell you there's something like 3/32, maybe less, between the two. That said I've had no issues changing the filter due to the proximity of the FS1 nor did I have any issues installing the alternator due to the oil filter with one exception: the lower left hand nut (from the pilot's seat) is a royal pain to tighten.

The same issue exists with the B&C alternator too.

I highly recommend getting the B&C oil filter adapter (or a competitive product). Access to that offending nut is much easier, not to mention that it makes changing the oil filter a no brainer too. I wish I installed it before I mounted the engine. Installing it two years after the first flight is a PITA.
