MarkDeTriomphe Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Most places should sell them - got mine from Chris Witor but sure you will find them at most of the usual retailers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I have to spike/tear it to remove from the block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeeAndy Posted October 31, 2010 Author Share Posted October 31, 2010 Thanks for warning ! Is that adaptor for modern spin off oil filter worth doing? i.e does it perform any better than original equipment or is it just for convenience please? Thanks for input Wee Andy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJB_Harvey Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 My view is the spin-on conversion on Triumph 6 cylinder engines is a MUST have , also filters of all sizes are readily available ( 3/4 Unf thread ) where as the original paper element types are not always available .

WeeAndy Posted November 1, 2010 Author Share Posted November 1, 2010 Ok thanks, will get one and fit, cleaning that paper element cannister was a bit messy.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sorbington Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 It's not a lot cleaner with a spin on filter.The oil pressure builds up a lot faster on the first start of the day though so probably a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
