1256 spin on oil filters?

[House]

Did anyone make an aftermarket adapter for the more modern spin on filters? I had a bash at turning one up today using an old filter as a pattern but getting the centre return flow right is going to be a nightmare. Even a pic of an oil cooler plate might help me here?

The return on a spin on filter is central but the return in the Viva block is off centre..



What i've done..





Bit long i know but i do have a few dumpy filters here i use on my Anglia that should work well.

99% certain there was a converstion, but not sure who made it. Think Dan used to have one on his old GLS.

Cheers Paul, would be better if they had a picture but i guess people like me are the reason they dont.

Be good if you could take the feed from oil filter housing for a turbo....

You can get an adapter for an oil cooler that sits between the filter and the block. Couldn't you use that?

Can vouch for the flexolite adaptors, they fit very well. No more faffing with filter housings after that.
