[alfa] Duetto Oil Filter

[George Beston <gbeston@xxxxxxxx>]

The thread on this subject could be easily expanded to include oil 
filters for all of the 105 engines with canister type oil filters.  I 
have found that getting the right filter element is not an easy task 
any more.

After years of providing just the right filter on demand (with more 
than a little teasing about the tractor application), my local UAP now 
sells both Wix (the house brand, it seems) and Fram filters that just 
barely work in my Spider Jr.

The problem with both of them is that the filter element is shorter 
than the original.  Cork spacers are provided  which make the element 
fit, but I've never been very comfortable with using them.  Worse, 
these filters do not come with replacement gaskets to put between the 
can and the base it bolts up to.

I was contemplating the Hurlock Engineering conversion to a spin-on 
filter, but my favorite overseas supplier (Highwood) came through with 
the CH 945 PL filter which is the right height and has a gasket 
included.
