oil filter and chain adjust

Hi,

No it fits in the return line to the tank. The filter restriction is too much for the suction side of the pump. So it filters any crud before it gets back into the tank and keeps the tank cleaner.

Can't give you any advise on fitting to a heavyweight as I have a Navigator, my last Dominator was back in 1963.

Provided you use good oil and change regularly i dont see that the benefits outweigh the disadvantage of reduced access and vulnerable piping./filter. If you have done an extensive (and expensive) mechanical restoration  , perhaps then it may pay off. A few magnets in the system, tank,sump are worth while . My 1960 big ends are still going with no filter.

do you want ideas of where it can be fitted?

I was asking to prompt others to contribute.

Brackets are available from our usual suppliers.  Pipe runs are not exactly tidy.  Mine came from Norvil many years ago, and I had to get longer pipes

Pics attached show the filthy location.  The tab and Jubilee clip came about (I believe) after a few Commando catastrophes when they came unscrewed on the road.  No idea why.

The picture is vertically up from road level.

Some filter heads ejected their spigots once hot and the oil followed . Put me right off fitting one.
