Does anyone have any recommendations for an MEP005A Spin On oil filter adaper and oil filter?
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Yes the canister filters do have to bypass check in them, it is inside the center bolt. Don't ask me what the PSI rating is though. All engine oil filters have this...kind of important.
You guys all probably know that I make and sell the spin-on kits for the 002a and 003a's. If someone can get me the proper information I can get the machine shop I use to turn out the adapter cups for the 004a and 005a's if they are indeed the same filter housing. ...
Agreed you could just take the fittings off the canister and then buy a spin on oil filter attachment and hook the hoses up to it.
I don't think it would be necessary to machine anything. The engine used has lines to the canister filter, all you need is something with compatible fittings (which should not be difficult at all.) I have such an adapter sitting on a shelf, maybe I'll check to see if the fitting size is the same on my canister vs the spin-on adapter. The problem I have is that I don't know who made the spin on adapter I have so I don't have specifications, but I do know that most hydraulic shops have similar adapters. If mine does have the right sized fittings maybe I'll just take it to a shop and see what they can come up with?
You're also right, all spin on filters have an over-pressure relief valve, and most have anti-drain back valves (not needed in this application.)
