Re: Burr Ripley L6 filter - how to modify inside filter

I don't know the answer to your question but will be watching this closely for responses as I also have a 1934 with the one-year only L6 Purolator and am using the Burr-Ripley conversion. I've used the last of my Ripley cartridges some thousands of miles ago and am not aware of a current source and apparently no one picked up the Ripley tooling.

I don't believe simple soldering will give sufficient strength to the threaded nipple.

I am considering replacing the filter with a length of copper pipe to retain the oil circuit thru the cooler, and just run without a filter. With only 3-500 miles per year and an annua oil change I don't think there is much downside to running without a filter.
