Well, you're not really stuck with the orientation of adapters like the
Trans-Dapt.
The filter is 16 threads per inch.
If you need another 1/4 turn, you just have to machine .015 off of the
adapter. : )

I have the Canton adapter.
It's very nice, but I don't think it will work with headers except the
Cannon type.
