Looking for a ‘Purolator’ type spin on oil filter head that has the full-sized mating face to the block. I believe these may have been used on Sprite/Midgets at some stage?
Picture for reference:
Postage to Australia or U.K. can be achieved.
Many thanks!

You do realize there are two versions. One places the filter further away from the block and transmission. I haven't jigged up one with sub frame in years. I believe there was a sub frame clearance issue with the longer one. I do like the short ones as they have the larger mounting area and threaded steel insert. Steve (CTR)

Hi Steve,
Thank you, yes I had read this in another forum thread at some stage. I appreciate you bringing this to my attention again.
I would be looking for the compatible, shorter filter head option that doesn’t have clearance issues.
One of the best modifications that you can do to your car. No more oil running down your arm and a filter change done in 2 minutes. Paint it and the cannister mid bronze and no one will even notice! Pete the Pom

Nice you found one!
Do you have a Parts Number for reference?
Hi mate!
Toby shared this part number above: CAM6684, but I wasn’t able to find any information unfortunately.
I haven’t yet received it in the post, but when I do I will inspect it and see if I can determine exactly what numbers are cast into it also if this helps.
The only information I’ve been able to gather from online searches is that it appears to have been installed on some 1275cc AH Sprite and MG Midget engines.
Many thanks and will be in touch again soon to report back once it arrives.
