Yes it has been done. Barry Smith did it on 'YB many years ago. Spin on filter that could be linked through an oil cooler. Acro used to sell a kit of parts.

I have fitted an external filter to G-AZBA, all the kit came from Think Automotive: 02085681172 or check them out on the web: .http://www.thinkauto.com/

I also installed a thermostat for the oil cooler which is sandwiched between the oil filter and housing.

Attached is a pic', if you still want to go ahead I can look out the part no's.

Hi Bob,

I may be using a different oil filter assembly on my Nipper, if you are interested in my remote filter and bits please let me know.

Hi Bob,

Rather red faced........don't think I came back to you for the part numbers!

If you are still interested, I may be doing away with my oil filter setup due to weight, so I may have a complete kit for you less the oil pickup block on the top of the engine. (I would think you have one anyway for the cooler)
