Oil filter adaptor wanted for 845cc engine

[Chris Litchfield]

Hi all

I am looking for this part (mentioned by benchseat in a previous thread.)

I drew a blank with Renault and was wondering if anyone had this part, or an old scrap engine that could spare one?

If anyone can help, I would love to hear from you

Thanks

Chris

It should be possible to get an oil filter adaptor, which is a threaded pipe which you screw into the socket where the filter blank is mounted and then you can put an ordinary oil filter on the front. In fact, if you find a later 845cc scrap engine you can simply unscrew this pipe (careful not to damage the threads) for use in your own vehicle.

I did this for my 1972 R4 which has an oval plate number close to yours (1211348). The pipe is a bona-fide R4 spare whose part number was (in 1992) 77 00 532 934. For the type 800 engine it should be 19mm thread diameter throughout (later ones have 19 on one end and 20 on the other)

I had a similar issue last month, these used to be available some time here, but no luck these days. So I had one made and it was just right. If you can't find one, I can get one for you, for 10 euros plus postage.
