Is this a TR6 or a TR3/4 adapter?

I have the conversion as well - and had the leaking occur after the first
filter change. Turns out I can't seem to keep the adaptor from wanting to
unscrew before the filter and I kinked the oring during removal and
reinstall. I put in a new oring and it's all good, but replacing the oil
filter is currently a two handed affair - holding the adaptor while
unscrewing the filter - though not optimal - still way easier than the
million turn bolt of the old filter.
I've tried locktite on the central adaptor bolt. I think the heat of the
engine renders it useless. I cranked it down pretty well, too.
I don't want to do it, but maybe I pull it down, clean everything, and use
a hardening gasket sealer on the oring and basically glue the thing down.
Any other suggestions?
