Hi John, I sell an aluminum adapter for the TC to accept a modern spin-on filter. Cost is $70.00 US$ plus $7.00 US$ postage for a total of $77.00 US$. The unit replicates the top half of the original cannister and uses original oil lines, banjo bolts and mounting. Email me if you need further details. The filter unit MUST be fastened tight to the block. Any vibration of the unit will fatique the oil lines. I improve on the original hooked straps by making a new strap which passes behind the filter bracket to the block and uses a 5/16" lock bolt to join the ends. Looks original. Also make sure a slight clearance is present between the block and the "U" rear line, if no clearance and a slight vibration, the oil line can fret against the block and wear a hole in the oil line. Regards, Bob Grunau Hi Gang- I blew an oil line from the filter to the block coming home from a car show on Sat and have ordered a new one from Moss. My question, is there a spin off type of filter unit that will fit a TC and where can I get one?. I might want to change to this type of filter unit If the group recommends it. This is the second time in the 46 years I have owned this TC that this particular oil line let go. I have the aluminum filter unit with the twine filter cartridge in it which I changed to in the 60's when this unit came out. Maybe the unit is vibrating and putting stress on this line? thanks John Patterson TC 7025 Your use of Yahoo!
