WIMPUS Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Hi, I know there are a few threads going on about this, but does only one know where you can find an Fram or Mann filter the cheapest ? :)I'm always using the cheap gfe150 ones, but want to look for a better quality one :)Wim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1300dolly Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Your local car accessory shop should have one, hell even Halfords sell them or canleys, Mick Dolphin, Rarebits4classics. just make sure you get one with a non return valve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 3 years ago I discovered I bought the last triumph fitting oil fiter in Brighton and Hove. Halfords had stopped selling them, the corner shop spares places didn't keep them, and I got the very last one from Speedy Spares.I reckon the filter adapters from the states so you can use the common 3/4" threaded filters is the way to go. I got Bill to bring a dozen over, all have found good homes!then use a genuine VW one, they are cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cook1e Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I tend to buy filters on ebay when they come up, I picked up a cheap stash of genuine Rover branded ones (which would be the newer brand for unipart the BL oem brand) for my GT6 with spin on adaptor on a but iy now deal. I'm sure the OEM ones for a Spitfire will alos come up from time to time on ebay.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorkshire_spam Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Wimpus, try and get hold of a Wix adapter "Wix 24037 Filter Adapter Stud" and just use a more readily available quality part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nang Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I'd suggest that "cheap" does not equate to good quality :(Have a look at the Mann filter post on here. you need a 5/8 to 3/4 adaptor . but otherwise a straightforeward swap. No drain back with these.Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
