[Healeys] Fw: 100 oil filter and element

[mike brooks]

Curt,
 
Many, many thanks. I now know exactly what I am missing. The felt
washers I can do. I am also missing the bottom plate with the hump in the
middle and the spring. The washer with the hump again I can do. The spring I
guess should be rated correctly to form a filter pypass if the filter gets
clogged. I should be able to get close to the correct spring rate using your
photographs for length and wire gauge. Not sure where Iwill get thespring
from........tomorrow's project.
 
Best regards
 
Mike

Mike,  

This is a project
that I have been working on for several months now along with Michael Grant at
Moss Motors.  Unfortunately, I had to put it on hold while I dealt with issues
at work and other things in my life.  The problem is that Moss does not, nor
any of the other vendors, sell the internal bits that are invariably missing
from the inside of the original filters.  

We were hoping to identify and
source these parts since Moss nor any other vendor wants to sell a paper or
felt filter only to have a pissed off owner complain when it won't work
because some previous owner/mechanic threw out the important internal bits on
the last oil change!  ...........................
