You can key on any parameter (thread diameter and pitch in my case, ¾-16) then sort by any other attribute. I used Gasket ID. Since I knew a 51516 (4.8” long) fit the adapter, but was too long, I used its gasket info. As others suggested, the 51348 (3.4” long) and the 51056 (2.7” long) were the best alternatives. So, I ordered both. The attached (I hope they come thru) photos show the comparison.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt'>Note that while you can see the 51516 installed, I can’t do that without rotating the housing to be able to get the filter on and off. That’s why it’s not an option. The 51348 requires a steeper housing angle than the 51056, which means more spillage when changing, but it has more capacity and I can get it in an XP which has about twice the filtration. Since I’m going to likely spill some regardless, I’ve decided on the 51348XP.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt'>Thanks, Joel Justin…<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> Joel Justin <j_bar_j@hotmail.com> <br><b>Sent:</b> Monday, July 10, 2023 3:15 PM<br><b>To:</b> triumphs@autox.team.net<br><b>Subject:</b> [TR] GT6 Mk3 Spin-on Oil Filter Adapter...<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div id=divRplyFwdMsg><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;color:black'>I purchased a spin-on oil filter adapter for my wife's GT6, but quickly learned that the standard WIX (51516) oil filter is too long given the GT6 frame location.
