Alloy Filter Canisters

[mra-minis]

Hi all,
I have been busy over the Christmas period and up till now have been working on a few Automatic projects, one of which is our all new Alloy filter canister body, the other is our all new filter head for those who want to change completely to a spin-on filter and also have the flexibility of adding an oil cooler...
If interested please PM me for details.
Thanks
Regards Martin

Sounds like a good move to be able to use spin on filters

Hi Martin,

The spin-on filter debate has been going on for years. Glad to see that you have come up with a solution. Maybe next time Joyce comes your way...

Have you got any pictures of one fitted?

Sent a email, if it's legit, would like a few posted. I am curious what spin on filter will be going on with it. If you supply, or its off a generic new car kinda deal. Lastly, oil cooler, I know it's good for Auto's in general, when would the oil cooler be a worth while option on a Mini Automatic? It was my understanding on manuals sometimes the oil wouldnt ever really get up to temp. Anyway, thanks for making one, I def want to check it out!

Are you testing it to the correct pressure at operating temperature? I would not want to see history repeat itself as in the case of the automatic VW's.

I know I posted such an item a while back but still skeptical myself. BTW, not been able to get more input on that one but I'm not giving it up. I too would dearly love to mod my AA. Tired of the troubles getting the cover on without leaks!

does anyone know what the bar or psi the filter canister sees right now?
i would guess the spin-on kit just uses a high pressure filter,
i use them all the time with the different vehicles at work

would probably just have to make sometime of adapter to go from the tranny case to fittings

Not to be in a hurry, but I still have not heard back from MRA about pricing, pics, etc. I got a bunch of people lined up to by kits stateside. As well as some other bits. Getting ready to pop in that motor next weekend finally.

I have asked our BMC1100 group if one of them knows what the maximum pressure is for the automatic canisters.
