Classic bike oil filter

[olderdan]

Needed an oil filter for my classic Triumph T100SS but the usual conversion is a Norton type which puts the filter cartridge in a vertical position. I felt this to be vulnerable as it drops below the frame rails, I also wanted the oil pipes to enter and exit on the gearbox side and so came up with this billet horizontal version.
I used the smallest diameter cartridge available at my local motor factors but I believe there are smaller to be had, this dictated the sizes for me.
It looks a little bulky but is cast alloy so weight is not an issue, the mounting bracket clamps on the down tube behind the gearbox and is not visible when looking at the bike and is now out of harms way.
