I can tell you this, the spitfire and the midget use two different
oil filters. I kow as I have both engines in the garage. I will check
the engines tonight and let you know what filters are on each. The Midget
filter will not fit on the spitfire engine, because the center threaded
pipe is to short to reach the filter. Not really sure if this answers the
question about the Midget using two different oil filters. BTW, my Midget
is a 77, with a 1500cc spitfire engine.
Later,
Bill
