is there an oil filter thats a bit shorter that will fit the mini filter housing and still give good filtration? Crystal Sound Audio said:

Whats your maximum height measuring down from the face of the filter head?
I seriously doubt it! |

I know the 16v Renaults use a short filter as I use one on my 205, however not sure if its the same thread as the Mini one.

Ford KA Halfords own 263/4/6 ones of these look it up. The champion one is longer and the same as a Mini but their own one is what I use as i have a sandwich plate cooler On 5th Sep, 2011 Vegard said:

Is this still the short filter to use? I have a sandwich plate stat and need a little one and mine is too long and hits the cross member...
I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

appears that there are two HOF264... a viltron branded version that is longer and a halfords branded version that is much shorter... both have the same HOF264 part number. I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

Smaller filters will be just that, smaller. Its maybe suggesting replacing the filter twice as often if you have to use one.

So no bits get into the filter housing, I will need to make a small notch out of the cross member

Ok I have had the file out tonight and made a small notch so the filter can clear the subframe.

Can you not get an adapter for the block and then use a remote filter? |

A small notch in the subframe so I can spin the filter on. I have ordered some better quality short filters I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
