External oil filter

Hello
Someone has in the past took out the Luvax system from my 1948 P2 tourer and installed an external oil filter. Does anybody knew what system that is and where I could get a new oil filter?

Thanks

Helmuth

The Wipac bypass oil filters (they were fitted to 1950 Rover75 -cyclops) are very difficult to find. Similar but smaller filters (ACzr1) were fitted to some Austin cars.

See : https://www.flexolite.co.uk/products/fa ... _kit_fa137

ZS1 filters were fitted to Series 1 Land Rovers, P3 and late P2 cars.

Hope this helps
Mike

So…. Does this kit fit an OHV P2 engine? Or just the new generation overhead inlet side exhaust?
Removal of the Luvax automatic lubrication may be a red herring as that only lubricates the chassis and has nothing to do with the engine apart from using manifold pressure/vacuum as it’s power source…
