I purchased a NOS Fram Oil Filter a few years back and would like to install it. before I begin, I was hoping some of you could answer a few questions / concerns:

1. Will there be any issues with running a vintage fram oil filter in a 1916cc engine (pulling around 75hp)
2. Where could I buy an install kit (hoses and fittings only)
3. Is there anyone in Sydney who could make up some hoses for me?

Make sure there is a 'bleed' hole to restrict the flow of oil back to the crankcase. I think it should be about 1.5mm diameter.

If there is too much oil flowing through the filter, you could end up with low oil pressure.

I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!
