[TR] GT6 spin on oil filter - late response

[TRDOCTOR at aol.com]

Indeed it is I, Sam Clark, that posted the question.  I am not running  an 
oil cooler, but the filter that I have been trying to fit is an inch longer  
than what you describe.  That should fit.  I will now get on the phone  and 
see if anyone here in the Tulsa areas carry one of those filters.  You  may 
have just saved me a lot of work.  I was getting ready to pull the  adapter 
off and go back with the canister.
BTW only the last picture came through but I get the idea.
 
Thank you to all that responded to my post.  This list is great!
Sam

At the  beginning of the week someone (Sam?) asked about spin on oil
filters for  use w/ GT6.  I finally got around to looking at what I use &
take  a .jpg but by now I have lost the original poster's question.

I run a  2.5L in my Spit bodied GT6 and sourced a used oil filter adapter
from  someone on this list years ago.  I don't know the brand but it uses
BS  (British Standard) threads for the oil cooler hose fittings (a pita to
get  hoses made up in the US w/ the correct fitting). I use a tiny oil
filter  that uses the standard 3/4 inch threads.  I use STP P/N S3512  oil
filter that I buy at Autozone (in the US), an inexpensive US made  filter,
no idea who makes it.  This filter interchanges w/ Wix 51056  & Fram
PH3512.  Somewhere I also have a Renault oil filter P/N (I  am guessing the
original application was for a LeCar or similar  vehicle).  THe canister is
3 inches in diameter and 2.75 tall from the  seal to the crown of the
canister. FWIW, I use the STP brand of oil filters  for both the GT76 & my
Isuzu Amigo with no issues but STP brand oil  filters is a poor choice for
my older F150 (lots of engine rattling on  start up - assume a drain back
valve spec is wrong for the correct P/N for  the Ford engine).
