Bypass oil filter for 1074 cc engine

Post by davida »

Has any one found a suitable modern replacement for the original bypass filter which is no longer available.

Bypass filters are being offered for a number of modern car makes but I suspect it would be a custom job for a Singer

Hey Davida,

For the one used on the 1074cc engine there is this option from Paul Beck Vintage Spares in the UK:

Its a conversion for the Fram ZR-1.

The 1500cc engine is a different beast altogether...

Hope that helps...

Hi Philip

I looked at that site and found that details are not given about the filter used inside the canister.

I am considering using something using 1/4 inch BSP threads and the filter mounted on the firewall/bulkhead so that one does not have to dive down to the starter and spill oil while disconnecting a filter.

Best wishes
David
