John, In addition to Bob Grunau, Phil Marino also sells an spin off oil filter adaptor. Both are excellent units. I also broke the filter-block oil line due to vibration even though the filter is strapped to the block. Over many years those steel tubes vibrate and crack as many of this list has experienced. Phil can fit flex tubing to your original pipe fittings and also sells a heavy duty filter strap. Phil had a strap break on his TC so came up with something stronger although very modern looking. Mike Goodman can also put flex hose on your original fittings. Flex tubing does not look original however if that concerns you.
