Burr Ripley L6 filter - how to modify inside filter

Does anyone have information how to modify the NAPA filter to add the fitting on the outer casing? drill hole and solder fitting? I would like to prepare a second/spare filter before I disassemble the existing filter by heating and melting the solder; just so I retain the existing to bolt back on in case something goes awry.
I assume no one has taken up the Ripley business.
And the size of the o-ring on the outlet fitting.
The filter was last changed in 2013, apparently, on my 34 ll04
THANKS

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.

It probably should be brazed at a minimum. A radiator shop probably could do that for you if you don't have the equipment or knowledge.

disassembed views of my filter. And pics of another BR filter from a post on AACA.org
I agree that it should be brazed. One challenge will be to ensure the inlet pipe is kept straight while brazing. I have a couple ideas on how to drill and hold the alignment.

An alternative is to buy one of the R-A L-6 filter conversions ($575 ! )

Beautiful piece of rolling artwork. Thanks for sharing the pictures.
Hope you are able to display it giving the public and other marque collectors the impact of the Packard brand.
Stunning!

Stay tuned... I'm on a path to a tidy solution. (with two options). If successful, I should be able to supply a number of filter replacements.
and, brazing is not involved. Tried that, not good.
