Fitting an external oil filter.

Hi Worty, it looks a bit like this!

Must be one for the earlier s/a.  My '61 GF has a pancake filter which frees the space up for the filter.

I reckon that looks alright Mr Lindsay and that's a very nice looking MGA is it lurking behind?

The only problem I can think of with that choice of position is its vulnerability to the odd piece of flying conn rod that have a habit of appearing at the most inconvenient times...  but hopefully you'll never find out!

Just a follow up on my front mounted external oil filter almost a year and 3,000 miles later.
 I am very pleased with the set up. Changing the filter is easy and involves no mess as an oil catcher can easily be placed under it. Re-fitting the new filter is also easy, as there is nothing in the way to stop you getting a good grip for tightening.
 Plenty of people have looked over my bike and failed to notice it, so I don’t think it spoils the look of the bike at all!
