1956 FORD "NEW" OIL FILTER ADAPTER "WOW" LOOK



Judging by the member's name and location, I'd say that's Gary's friend who was at Columbus a couple years ago.



Here's a post about it.

This guy is what?Making them or where are they comming from?Nice item but a bit pricey no?

I can't speak on where they are being made because I don't know.



In regard to the price, it's higher than main stream components but that's just the way it is with the Y. Considering that it's probably low production, aluminum is relatively expensive, and he needs to make a profit, I don't think it's out of line for what it is. And it's a new option for the Y which is always great.

Although the pricing sounds high, they are being sold for not much over the cost of making them.  They are a quality piece and have an O ring on the backs for sealing.  Tested one on Keith’s ’32 at Bonneville and works just fine.
