Hi,

"back in the day", the dealer mechanics would disconnect the fuel pump 
from the block to make room to remove the canister in an oil change. In 
fact, on my Dad's TR6, the car died (on several occasions) about 1/4 mile 
from the dealer because the mechanic "forgot" to re-install the fuel pump.

Pull the fuel pump and the filter and canister comes right up past the 
steering column. If you have an electric fuel pump and a blanking plate in 
the block, you don't have to do anything!

But I still stand on the spin-on being q good upgrade for all the reasons 
formerly articulated.

rml
p.s. get a good adapter, the cheap ones have porous castings and will drip 
oil.
