Mark--
 
You're correct that the Healey spin-on adapter is bolted to the block as  was 
the original canister filter bracket.  I was writing about the MGA  engine in 
my Elva which is secured by one central bolt and yes, the piece that  sheared 
has six holes drilled to allow passage of oil so there is not much  material 
there.  
 
Sorry for any confusion--Michael Oritt

Hmmm,  must have different styles for different cars.    My adapter is just 
one thick plate with holes and the filter sticks out at  about a 90 deg. 
angle from the engine.
My plate is held on with 3  black, counter sunk, allen bolts.   These bolts 
do  nothing
except hold the plate to the block.

Does your brass bolt  serve another application other than holding the 
adapter to the  block?  Does it channel the oil  perhaps?
