Sandy, nice piece at that. I used a Canton version, but, for some 
reason, it is considerably thinker and I wound up using the flapper 
wheel on it to customize it for the race car. To clear turbo exhaust 
pipes.  But, as I look at this thing, do you think it could also be used 
on the top of the oil filter as well?  I think the seals are the same, 
the only thing would be if the through bolt would screw into the filter 
itself rather than the block. Then the original filter mount/holder or 
what ever that thing is called,, could be used on a Tiger. Get two of 
them, on on the block one on the filter. Spendy at the price though, 
but, kinda elegant. Could then use spiffy stainless steel braid hose and 
nice AN fittings.

Working on my home made dyno right now..during bouts of painful knee 
aggravations, that is.  Going to be a water cooled Jag IRS differential 
with the inboard brakes.   Most parts are in hand so actual fab work 
will begin after the first.

ciao,

mayf
