Cyrille,
Probably a clearance issue with the frame or piece of equipment.
I don't have a RB midget, but I do have some spitfires.
The spitfire - same exact engine does not use that adapter, and the oil
filter is connected directly to the engine.

I would like to know if someone knows why, on the 1500cc engine, the oil
filter is connected to the block through an adaptor thingy that moves the
oil filter 6 inches higher... why is the oil filter not directly connected
to the engine block? It looks like it would work fine....

Regards, cyrille
