[QUOTE="Ken Tidswell, post: 39326, member: 3355"] Furthur research informs me that of the 2 makes of filter, VSOC and the Australian item now differ in the size of the bore. The latter has a larger bore which fits over most if not all Comet filter bosses, so it seals at the base of the housing below the boss properly, It is also metal lined to resist the crushing force of the cold oil at start up. I have just fitted one in my bitsa Comet with no problems, whereas before it was not wide enough to pass over the boss, the original was Australian as was the new one. Thus the design has been changed. Ken [/QUOTE]
