#1 Flexolite spin-on filter adapter

Post by iani » Fri Jul 18, 2014 7:18 pm

I fitted one of these adapters today and was pleased that there were no leaks on testing. My joy was short lived however, have just got home and noticed I have a bad leak. Does anyone know of a stockist of the O ring set for these? I may have pinched one and would like replacements to hand. Not even easy to go back to the original setup, a few parts are missing it turns out, I have the bolt, the large disc & spring and that's it.

If it's an oring, they are pretty standard things. Your local hydraulic or bearing shop will be able to help you there. Just take the old one in with you.
