[Mgs] Oil Filter Adapter

[PaulHunt73]

FWIW I've got two hanging filters and one inverted, and for me the inverted 
is far easier to handle and no messier.  The problem with the hanging is 
that as soon as the seal breaks on unscrewing oil runs down the outside, 
making the can slippy and impossible to grip with gloves, I have to wrap 
masking tape round them first.  They also need something underneath them to 
catch the dripping oil, just like the inverted, but I'd rather be handling a 
clean cannister than one covered in oil.

Also FWIW from what I've seen the factory only used the hanging screw-on for 
four months, but it was from Oct 73 to Feb 74 whereas the same 2M100 starter 
was used from August 71 onwards, and modified 18V engines for the rubber 
bumper models didn't start until September 74.  So I don't see what the 
starter has to do with first the introduction of a hanging spin-on and then 
the almost immediate reversion to inverted.
