[QUOTE="Martyn Goodwin, post: 53187, member: 2433"] It was my experience also that the metal canister/paper element oil filters from the VOC spares Co would NOT seat correctly within the base/boss of the oil filter chamber on/in my Comet - the miss match was so bad that I could not get the oil filter chamber cap to seal at all. BUT V3 products, using my bike as a test bed, developed and now supply a metal canister/paper element oil filter that overcomes these problems - its openings internal diameter is larger to accommodate the vagaries of the boss location and shape plus its length has been slightly reduced for the same reason, but the spring is the oil chamber cap ensures a complete seal so that oil does not bypass the filter - while at the same time allowing for an oil tight seal on the chamber cap. The V3 filters do have a nice large rubber ring at both ends. The email address you are seeking for V3, as published in MPH #783, is [email]nvidean@optusnet.com.au[/email] Martyn [/QUOTE]
