I experienced the same problem with my oil filter adapter on my '66 Midget
(1098). My solution was to spend some time looking at the various filters to
find one of the appropriate size and threading. Of the ones that fit, I chose
one that was listed as being for a later model Midget (Phram PH 43??). Don't
have the exact info on hand at the moment.
Unfortunately, a lot of oil spills when I unscrew the oil filter (even though
the filter screws in upright) suggesting that there might be some improper or
extra pressure.
Take care.
