Oil filter adaptor

Would anyone be kind enough to examine the attached photos of my filter and housing and hazard a guess as to what make it is? It is from a 401 (1951).

There are no visible marking or brand names. The length of the cartridge is 5 3/8 in and the diameter is 2 3/4 in.

Thanks

Daniel

Hello,I think it is a Purolator, check the at www.MGAguru.com it is a very good artticle

The thick ring at the bottom of the cannister proves it is a purolator one

Daniel ,
This Oil filter assembly is not the original Vokes type fitted to 401 - 406
, or the earlier Tecalamit type fitted to 400's
If you need a replacement cartridge I suggest you simply take the old one
to a spare parts supplier and match one to fit.

But if you want your 401 to be to original specification
I have a spare original Vokes type with new cartridges to match
OR
I can supply a adapter to suit modern spin on filters

Geoff
