Tom,

The only spin-on adapter that I'm aware of for the Ser. III cars is one that's made by Rob Beere in England, if I recall correctly. But it also incorporates an oil cooler, which is not a bad thing. The only downside of the item is that it is expensive. The problem with a spin-on is lack of room (which is what required Jaguar to change from the old round filter housing to that oval thing).

I was told by Welsh that the manufacturer quit making them due to low demand. They are out of stock.

Is there not a spin-on conversion for this motor?

I always got them without any problem whatsoever from SNG Barratt or Moss Motors. Both places always had them in stock. I would usually buy 2 or 3 at a time, so I had one on the shelf. Call either of them and they'll probably ship it out to you immediately. You might also try Welsh Enterprises or Coventry West or XK's Unlimited. I find it hard to believe that no one is making them anymore.
