After fitting new manifolds started noticed oil dripping from filter housing on close inspection the brass threaded insert has broken inside oil pump housing managed to remove without damaging threads see photos also on removing oil pressure relief valve grub screw on end of spring. Tvr mod ? I recall on my wedge replaced with uprated tadpole and machined Base from DJE engines Nuneaton. Wonder if still going can I buy just the brass insert or is it the full monty it's a 92 4.3 Griff.

Here's an insert/adapter I recently bought for a pre-serp, its 1/2” UNF (M ) to 1/8” NPT (F )

Although the ebay listing looks the same I was surprised when it arrived as its not as compact which you can see below, however it does the job but you'll have to check you have the space as this one isn't in a TVR.
