As Gene has previously noted from the pictures I posted of my '51, it has an Inner Line oil filter. I got a Fram cartridge for it and dropped it at the shop that is getting her back in shape. They've informed me that there seems to be a washer and spring missing from inside the unit. I looked at a filter assembly that sold recently on eBay and it shows a washer and a spring, so that must be what they are talking about. I'd really rather not buy another assembly just to get these parts. Suggestions?

Attached is a photo of what my in line filter looks like. Instructions also show the proper placement. Hope this is a help. ![[Linked Image from i1311.photobucket.com]](http://i1311.photobucket.com/albums/s663/hawkeye1932/de0d2a43-a2a2-4d99-95d4-ca0508fd212e_zpsgd3xyeuf.jpg)

Believe the conversation is about an oil filter?

You might find a usable spring and washer at your auto parts store.

Sorry, oil - gas, both three letter words. That's what happens when you try to do something while running out the door.
