Re: oil filters

[Bill Schooler <schooler@erols.com>]

Charley,

Had the same problem with my '69 model.  Bought one of the spin on
adapters but discovered that the fitting for the oil cooler hose was
rotated 90 degrees and my stock hose would not fit.  

I noted in a Moss catalog that there are a number of different lengths
of hoses for MGB oil coolers.  I did some cautious measurements and
bought one of the hoses that was significantly longer than the original
hose.  It worked like a champ - even the routing looks normal as can be.

I'll go out in the garage and measure the length of that replacement
hose and let you know.
