Pardon the commercial message:
We offer a spin on adapter for the 6 cylinder engines (TR6/GT6/TR250/etc)
that places the filter horizontally, in the same location as the original
filter housing. This permits using a larger diameter filter, with more
volume than can be used with the down hanging version.
Some have found this to be more convenient and less messy.
