    Does anyone have any experience with these? It gives virtually no information except that it fits my car.

    Don't see how that could work on a TR -- the oil filter mounting fitting is a 1"-12 TPI thread (don't see that size in the bunch of fittings, and would probably require a bigger hole/different machining in the Aluminum piece).

    What deviltry are you up to? ;)

    I am going through the pains of trying to find an oil filter again. The market hasn't gotten any better, that's for sure!

    I just read the thread I started years ago. Did anyone ever try that Baldwin B255 filter? It's an easy find if it works.

    when you put on such an adapter you need a filter with less height. and this means less material in the filter to filter the debris

    Ferrari 218429, $40. Steve just did a write up on one I provided him from my TR to confirm function.

    Yep! Good 'ol Steve saves me a buttload of money once again. Where did you find it for $40?

    I ordered one today. My old filter is going to Steve for analysis.
