Oil filter adapter

[tyney]

IHas anyone got any pics or details on this adapter. Any help would be appreciated. Filter spec, flow rate, orientation of filter?

My own original one has jammed, and some of the discs are damaged. I'd love to keep it, but I can't find any spares

I have loads of spares if you do want to keep it, however it may be worth looking at a more modern approach. Please share what you find because I have never fitted one and would like to see how it's done

Thanks

I'll take some pics tomorrow and share my thoughts. I'm not too familiar with this engine.

I have seen an Aprilia engine with this oil filter arrangement, I don't have any more details.

This was what I suspected would be the solution. Thank you.

Bit grubby.

Removed the bit that holds the shaft central.then cleaned up.

Made up a bit of aluminium that fits in the hole, with an o-ring groove to seal it. Will bore out the top flange to accept the top of that new piece, then tap the bore of that new tube to accept a pipe fitting. Can route the return through the brass plug hole on the side.

Fits quite snugly

Still need to figure out the filter mount

Other end machined with an o ring.

Underside o top plate machined flat and bored out 18mm

Assembled. Brass nut can be threaded to whatever I like. Now to find a spin on housing
