Hi John, thanks for the plug.
I am now making a new batch of spin-on oil filter adapters for the TC and
early TD which are slightly longer and will not interfere with the spin-on
filter as the bracket will be entirely on the adapter. Appearance is stock,
if painted. The adapter is solid machined aluminum with steel threaded
button inserts where a thread enters so any removal of banjo bolts and/or
filter is through steel threaded inserts which are permanently Loctited
into the aluminum housing.
I can provide references of satisfied owners if requested.
Cost is $65.00 US$, including packing and postal cost in North America.

Phil Marino, Bob Grunau, or Abingdon Spares sells a spin-on housing for
