This may be a simple one for some of you, but hey, if ya never ask, ya =
never learn...
On my recently acquired '74 TR6, behind the front left wheel, inboard =
and directly inline with the oil filter is what appears to be a large 5" =
diam. hole through the inner fender, probably for extracting the oil =
filter and cartridge. I currently have an adaptor and spin-on filter, so =
the hole serves no purpose to me, yes / no?
A) Is the hole for access to an original oil filter installation & =
removal?
B) Is there supposed to be a cap, cover or plate over this hole? Is it =
necessary?
C) Where can I get one? I haven't seen it listed in TRF, VB, Moss etc. =
catalogues=20
It would appear to me that this open hole would simply let large amounts =
of dirt and road splash into the engine compartment. Does this happen? =
...I spend enough time shining the beast, so I don't want to add to my =
workload.
Thanks in advance to anyone who replies,=20
