Doesn't look to hard to fabricate something. If it's just a spin on filter that goes inside of the can.

Nothing too fancy.  The toughest part will be holding the alignment while brazing the fittings onto the filter housing.

Suggestions for choice of brazing rod and flux? I am not experienced with choices in brazing.

I know that others were making and selling this type of modern filter conversion after Burr passed, but cannot remember who.

The Internet can't find them...  So, therefore, they don't exist. 🙂

X2 on this. His name is Dave Czirr and his car is an amazing all original 1100 like the one I had only much nicer. I remember my Ripley filter came with two modified filter inserts, I never used the second one and it went to the new owner when I sold the car.

Dave is looking for a Ripley filter, too...

I have a couple ideas on how to do the modification.  I'm not taking apart the existing filter cartridge - it's going back on the car while I toy with a few Napa filters.

Apologies for resurrecting such and Old (But Fantastic) thread.  This thread is one of the few that I have been able to find information and photos of a Burr Ripley oil filter conversion for the L6 on the 34 Packards.  I have a Ripley filter on my 34 1104, but need to find some help in how to do the conversion and connection on the spin on filter from Napa.  

Anyone out there who has prepared a replacement filter, or would consider preparing a filter for me to replace my old filter (last changed in 2013)

THANKS
