The rubber grommet on the N/S bulkhead, through which the wiring for the oil sensor passes. This example is somewhat deformed (the hole should be circular).
Tecalemit FA2012 with element FG2307. Filter capacity is 1 pint.
Filter element should be replaced every 5,000 miles.
Attempting to clean and re-use the filter element is not a viable long-term option, however, some sources suggest removing and washing the element in petrol after 3,000 miles and only replacing after 18,000 miles.
Note that the relief valve is not adjustable.
To be written...
A central bolt holds the filter body in place - use a 1/2"BSF wrench and a filter wrench to undo.
The filter element may need to be twisted slightly and pulled to persuade it to part from the filter body.
Note that the oil filter body joint can easily be made from gasket paper.
The oil filter of later Barker-bodied cars may have been drilled to take a pressure gauge, mounted just before the pressure sensor.
It has been suggested that two Petter diesel filters ref. no. DC29 might fit into the filter bowl if a suitable spacer is made and fitted between them. Should anyone try this, we would be interested in further details.
Apparently, a Lister Engine fuel filter element, together with the top and bottom filter clamping plates from the Lister Filter, have been tried in the past with some success. Again, more details (and part numbers!) would be appreciated.
A replacement oil pressure switch may be available from 'Applications Engineering' as part number 0166-404-03-1-015 (1/4" BSP adjustable from 0.1 to 1 bar, normally closed, with spade terminals).
The oil filter element and rubber sealing ring are available from David Beales Engineering.
All images are scanned from originals, wherever possible, at 100dpi (unless otherwise noted) and must be scaled when printed to preserve the original size (eg. scale up by 3 times for a 300dpi printer).
Note, however, that due to slight scaling inaccuracies during both the scanning and inevitably the printing, these images should be taken as an approximation for reference only.
In addition, drawings, measurements and notes of materials used are intended as a guide and aid to the restorer, and not necessarily a definitive, or even guaranteed correct, reference.
