Pardon the commercial message:
We offer a spin on adapter for the 6 cylinder engines (TR6/GT6/TR250/etc)
that places the filter horizontally, in the same location as the original
filter housing. This permits using a larger diameter filter, with more
volume than can be used with the down hanging version.
Some have found this to be more convenient and less messy.

Hello all,<br>
<br>
15005 1957 TR3<br>
<br>
The screw that inserts into the door socket that holds the widescreen is br=
oken. I?m sending a gyazo of the good one so you will know exactly what scr=

mean: <a href=3D"https://gyazo.com/e1b5e321e1a31489b0d0735651d8b783"; rel=3D=

<br>
Does anyone know of a place where I might get this, or an equivalent? If I =
can get the lower thread out it might be possible to weld it, but the retai=
ning pin holding it in place is in no hurry to pop out, plus it seems ruste=

<br>
Grateful for any tips or info. <br>
Thanks <br>

Subject: [TR] Spin-on Filter/Adapter<br>
<br>
Greetings, all!<br>
<br>
I have a spin-on filter adapter on my '74 TR6. I find that when the fil=
ter is vertical, it makes using the bleed screw on the clutch slave difficu=
lt to maneuver.<br>
<br>
If I loosen the adapter plate and rotate the assembly clockwise=C2=A0 a bit=
to rotate the filter away from the clutch slave bleed screw, how far from =
vertical can the filter be without any issues, anyone know?<br>
<br>
Thanks, folks!<br>

Most of the setups like this I've seen (including mine) have the filter=
<br>
turned slightly clockwise from vertical. This is not a gravity-fed <br>
filter system, so orientation of the filter shouldn't matter. (But I <b=
r>
also admit that I could be dangerously wrong.) Most of my modern cars <br>
have the spin-on filter horizontal. And the Subaru Outback w/ turbo <br>
engine has it upside down! (see attached).<br>

You can move it quite a lot.=C2=A0 The recommeded filters have anti-drain b=
ack provisions so the oil will not drain out of the filter.=C2=A0 But that =
really is not an issue.=C2=A0 You can move it sufficiently off vertical to =
get as much clearance as required.=C2=A0 I have.=C2=A0 Next club meeting or=
TR gathering you go to just look at the various angles .<br>

I had a similar problem on my injected engine with the Lucas system. I trie=
d a variety of different size filters and my problem was the fuel metering =
unit being in the way as it was driven off the distributor shaft. In the en=
d I used a fairly stubby filter positioned at about 9 o?clock and everythin=
g was fine. As long as you ensure you use a filter with an anti drain valve=
, it?ll stay full when the engine isn?t running and none of the ?death ratt=
le? on a cold start. At least it worked for me without issues but I?m sure =
you?ll get plenty of ?variable? advice :)<br>
