Peter,
I ordered a spin on adapter and didn't like the one they sent (a well known
UK firm) - it was twice as thick on one side than the other (where it impacts
the rubber seal). The thin side was only half the thickness of my old
canister.
It was a poor casting for something so simple looking. I sent it back for
refund. Instead I think I am going to rig up a special socket on my electric
drill so I can zip off the canister much faster and not spill as much oil.
With the 'spin-on' you still spill a little oil so what the heck at least I
will have 'full-flow' through the mechanisim - the spin on unit looks a bit
constrictive to flow - 6 tiny holes instead of a port the thickness of my
finger.
One thing I read about TR6 oil filter was something like: "the sideways TR6
oil filter system seemed this engine's greatest engineering undoing .. the
filter sitting sideways automatically drains it completely dry everytime you
turn off the motor .. not a good thing especially on cold startup .."
A 'spin-on' filter unit could improve the TR6s originally poor canister
orientation.

>>Listers, Can you offer positive or negative feedback on the spin-on oil
filter kits like the ones sold by Moss for TR6's? Need to make an informed
decision.
Thanks, Peter C <<
