GT6 M Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Ian, with that set up, no wonder ye got oil lagg.yonks ago, I had a great idea to put a remote filter in front of engine, and below oil take off.it actually took longer for it to get oil pressure up than standard set up,My self, why not just bung a Mann filter upside doon onto your adaptor.they are pretty fine filters as weel.M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uksnatcher Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 No luck finding a supplier of the 5/8 unf filter so far but if you could convince one of these US sellers or maybe one of our US forum members could buy some and ship out, these 5/8 to 3/4 unf adapters for use without an oil cooler you could use the easily available 3/4 unf filters :http://www.ebay.com/ctg/Wix-24037-Engine-Oil-Filter-/76028267Wix part no: 24037 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uksnatcher Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 Quoted from Spitfire6 Main reason for fitting was better filtration, longer duration before oil changes and cleaner oil.If I can find the correct thread for an inline check valve then I can see nothing that's better than I have?Cheers,Iain. Hi Iain (are you in Burnley mate? Next P&P meeting? )Looked at the remote filter with bypass filter built in same as yours but I thought the trickle feed long life bypass filter was a little pointless if using mineral oil as the oil has to be changed every 6 months anyway unless you are using fully or semi synthetic oil.The cost of the synthetic oil, filter housing and filters, pipework and non return valve put me off TBH (tight arse.. ) but the extra filtering can only be a good thing and hope finding a 1 way valve is not too hard..

GT6 M Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 For all the GT6 owners woe have a filter adaptor,then If ye put in a adaptor thread to 20 MM 1.5 then you can use these filters.as the Reliant ones getting thin ont grun noo.they only 50 MM deep, so nee need to put a filter at an anglewhich really defeats the object of putting a adaptor on int fust spot.NOTE, if the filter is wider than the adaptor housing, then it WILL foul on the sumpjoint, so need one that is as wide as the adaptor, or slightly bigger, Follow.!!they also fits lots of the Peogeots /Renalts / Citroens too, and also v v cheep too.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VAUX.....;hash=item43c268eb32or thee,shttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KIA-.....;hash=item2c7739e12fM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uksnatcher Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 Just a note to add, the large 93mm wide W 940/20 filter WILL NOT fit, just too wide it fouls the suspension turret (angry)I have amended the list:Here are the pt nos for all the Mann double anti drain valve filters that fit a Spitfire or Herald 4 cyl engine with an adapter 5/8 UNF to 3/4 UNFW 713/9 - 76mm wide / 100mm highW 719/29 -76mm wide / 123mm highW 724/1 - 76mm wide / 142mm highW 830/3 - 84mm wide / 122mm highWithout adapter:W 713/14 - 76mm wide /100mm highAlso.....Some good deals around on the W 724/1 filter (tall one I have on at the mo) for 3 quid delivered.... 🙂http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_sacat=0&_from=R40&_nkw=W+724%2F1&_sop=15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nang Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Surely one of your UK readers has a lathe and can make some 3/4 x5/8 adaptors. I made one out of a bit of stainless I had,each side 3/4" long and from memory about a 3/8" hole in the centre.Anyone know of a supplier that has W724/1 filters and would send at a reasonable price to NZ. Can't find any here, the French ones on Ebay won't send and another wants 27 pounds postage. Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkuser Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Sounds as though you may have to make an adapter Tony, to solve your filter availability/cost problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 The adapters are easily available in the USA, and not expensive. Well, I bought 10 from 2 sources and got a very helpful man to bring them over. Trouble was I ordered about 20 initially, only to find the places couldn't fulfil the orders.I bought the 10 so I could pass most on, keeping one for myself.Anyway, a friend who happens to work on nissen forklifts made himself a 22mm adapter so he could use decent OE filter. That may be a better size if it is a self made adaptor, bearing in mind the number of jap cars down under. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Please see parallel thread in the Herald/Vitesse section-Sorry , link no longer available I'm impressed too with the Mann filter. Currently using a W717/2 with the 3/4" thread adaptor. This was slightly cheaper than the W713/9 and the same sizeIt has slightly higher relief valve pressure of 1.5bar whereas the 713/9 is 0.8.I think the original spec is around 1 bar, but not sure of that.Cheers,K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
