MG TD TF 1500 - TF Spin on filter adaptor

I think for me a spin on oil filter is the way to go , is there a preferred supplier for these?.
or has anyone here have one they are no longer using and wish to sell

Thanks

Bob Grunau or John Seim are the best vendors for these. A very good modification.

The Moss kit seems to fit and work satisfactorily on my TF, altho limited mileage.

It is certainly an easier way to change the oil filter once installed. Which in my case means it gets done more often :)
No leaks and very little less mess
I try to fill the new canister with oil before I put it on to get it partially filled. Possibly not necessary buy there you go. I'm sure it does not hurt.

Got mine from Moss via LLBC a couple of years ago and have had no issues.

See http://www.ttalk.info/Oil_filter.htm . IMHO, Bob Grunau is the way to go. http://www.ttalk.info/Grunau.htm Bud

Speaking as one of them, I generally try to support the little fellows - and the big guys are usually MORE expensive than the little guys.

Thank you all, by the way does anyone know if there is a Ryco brand filter that fits this mod.

I'm not familiar with Ryco, but there probably is an equivalent. Look for a match to Wix 51516, same as a NAPA 1516.
Got it!! Z131A,

Roland Taras (Butch) is another source. I just got one for my TD, and it fit like a glove, and no leaks. He is also less money than the rest, if that makes a difference to you.
If you want, I can find his web, and phone.

He just sent me mine, and enclosed a bill. I mailed him a check after I received it.

Anybody have Butch's contact details please?

Thanks

Hello P G. See the above e-mail address. I still work full time so I'm a bit slow on deliveries. I do all the machining at home in the evenings and weekends. Contact me off list and I'll send you a price list.
