Hi Tom - I have two screw on oil filter adapter plates but no oil pressure
relief valves. The small valve was used in them.(and has been known to stick
open) I think a machine shop may be able to fit the larger valve, maybe
even the one from a series 1-2 or early 3. If you want to try it let me
know. Regards Ed
