I have not had to buy a filter for a number of years due to a big bulk purchase 50 + some years ago however I was surprised how awkward it was to buy the correct filter should I now bite the bullet and go for a spin off conversion ?

Should I go for a spin on oil filter ?

I've been using a spin adapter for years but only in the past few weeks suffered issues of incontinence, I bought two sets from the brothers I also replaced my transfer housing o rings when I took them off they were hard and brittle and useless to stop leaks as were the two rings in the spin on . heat issues I expect amongst other things . easy to change out though and worth keeping spares' like the containment and simplicity of the canister filters .

I've wondered about fitting one, especially as I've found it impossible to stop the original leaking. Now I've got a dry back end (careful!) I'd like to go for gold.....
The only thing that stopped me ordering it (beyond the price!) was a suggestion that the centre threaded portion tended to come unscrewed on removal of the canister. Anyone had that happen?
