Victoria British offers a spin-on oil filter adapter for $79.95.
TRF has spin-on oil filter adapter on sale now for $64.95 (norm $69.95).
Moss motors has spin-on adapter for $64.15 and they offer a filter for "MOSS
ONLY SPIN-ON ADAPTER".
What's that all about, anyone know?
VTR recommends using Fram 3600 filter for spin-on adapter since other
filters cause oil pressure issues but they make no mention of spin-on
adapter brands.
See http://www.vtr.org/maintain/tr6-spinon.shtml
Does anyone have the adapter on a 1970 TR6?
