Ah, this is one change I made immediately during my restoration.  Having started life with my first car, a 1964 Sprite, I never wanted to touch a cartridge type filter again, so I installed a canister conversion.  See http://trf.zeni.net/TR2-TR3Handbook/7.php#navbar.  It's not original, but if the goal is daily driving and frequent oil changes, it's a whole lot cleaner.

I have not done this particular conversion.  Looking at it, though, it seem=
s as if it's a simple adapter that bolts to your existing mounting plate in=
 place of the cartridge housing.  For more direct experience with it, it pr=
obably wouldn't hurt to call Dave or Albert at The Roadster Factory, LEVEL =
2 SALES: 800-234-1104.

Unless others on the List have done this particular conversion?

I installed the spin-om conversion on both the TR3 & TR4 with the engine
in.  Must have been enough room, probably less trouble than mounting the
canister.

As Randall mentioned, be sure you got the old o-rings out of the filter
head (mine had 3 in there).  I recall using a dental pick to get at them
(carefully to avoid scratching the casting.  A mirror can help with
inspection.
