If you're looking for a spin-on filter adaptor for your Triumph sportscarit's
worth remembering that some of them use the same engine as sedan
models which are quite widespread in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, etc.
The TR5 & TR6 engine is a twin of the 2000/2500 sedan, and the Dolomite
1850/Sprint engine was used in the TR7 and (doubled up) in the Stag. So,
here are some UK suppliers of oil filter adaptors for these two engines,
at 'sedan' prices. (I'm not familar with either the TR7 or Stag, so I
don't know if they share the woeful oil filter setup of the TR5/6..?).
Following prices have had VAT subtracted where quoted prices include
this.
For the 2000/2500/TR5/TR6:
Chris Witor, c/o Meadow View 17.50
Farthing Green Lane, Stoke Poges 24.50 with oil cooler outlets
Slough SL2 4JH

supplier too.
