Default Oil filter adaptor

Daniel, with regard to your oil filter adaptor, I take it that it enables
you to use a current screw on canister filter. On the Bristol engine the oil
flows through the filter in the opposite direction to the canister types,
so check that your adaptor does reverse this or you will risk the
possibility of parts of the filter blocking your oil ways.
Also it is good that you have found some one to re-spray your car, but you
have most likely found out that the body frame is welded to the chassis and
difficult to remove. However, if any of the original paint or filler
remain on the car it should be removed and new applied as the old looses its f
lex ability with age and will craze with the expansion of the aluminium.
I wish you luck with the re-spray.
My regards,
Bellerophon
