Ford V 2.8 Colone engine

[1969tuscan]

I have a tvr vixen fitted with a 2.8 Granada V6 Colone engine . I'm fitting an oil cooler kit but with limited space between the engine and main chassis rail I have to change position of oil filter , not enough room to fit the cooler boss and oil filter, I have acquired a 2.8injection oil filter alloy housing wich changes the filter possision, but I need the centre nut to fit it next to the cooler boss tried eBay no luck, don't suppose anyone out there as one to sell, or knows we're I might get one .

Suggest you post this on the Wedge and S forums on here, more likely to find folks with a stash of 2.8 bits.

Hi boosted, did you check to see if you had a centre nut .

[Boosted LS1]

Yes. I found a heat exchanger that has a long stud and centre nut that looks the same as in your picture. PM me if you like or give me a call on my mobile. I'll send you my number.

Try Martin at CAPRIGEAR - he usually stocks all sorts of Cologne V6 related stuff.

Hi thanks Mike , got the bolt and nut still requires a bit of modification to fit my engine , as not a lot of room at the oil filter side, but should do the job ,regards keith

You're welcome Keith :-)

Is there not a plate arrangement for the cologne engine that allows you to fit a remote filter?
