Hello to all,
I need some help in trying to help Paul with this bolt issue. I have an NOS
(2) bolts for the canister filter for the TR3. Unfortunately, I just gave
back my borrowed Std Triumph Parts book. If someone can look up the number
and ID which filter head it goes to it might help Paul out. The part # is
501078. It has the following lengths. (1) Top of bolt head to bottom of
threads is 8-7/8". (2) Bottom of bolt head to bottom of threads is 8-1/2".
Thread length is 1". My initial guess is Purolator. Paul, if no ones has
this information I will pull the one I have from a spare engine and get the
spec's so you can compare them to your bolt. If you need a bolt after all
this contact me off list.

introduce an oil leak. I had planned to put it right next to the
washered-bolthead. I sought to use it to cause it to tighten-up 'earlier'.
My problem had been that although the long bolt is tightend up when
installed, the oil filter cannister continues to rotate and is slightly
loose and not making a seal.
