CC Bradford Oil Filter Cartridge

[PAUL BEAUMONT]

Periodically I hear that these are no longer available. What are your experiences of alternatives, are you sitting on dozens of old stock etc.

I had a consevation about this with Neil Moore some time back...
From memory there is an upgrade one can make to a modern filter.???

[george garside]

if I remember rightly a Vauxhall viva ?1257cc filter housing can be easily adapted to the bradford, It looks similar to the vokes type having a housing of the same diameter but shorter & retained by a central bolt , the attraction being that it uses a throw away paper cartridge whiich may be available new & should be plentiful at autojumbles.

I use an external filter on my 1953 Ford Prefect upright model. The Ford Sidevalve owners Club sell a replacement that uses throwaway paper filter and also a company called Pop parts Plus in Derbyshire do the same. I understand both versions resemble the original steel can. Fortunately I still have a couple of the original new filters for my car, I assume the innards do not deteriorate with age. I hope this is of use to your club members.
