Shane, my extinguisher is a period correct piece, but the one which is 100% correct would have "Heavy Vehicle" on the brass plate. Mine does not, thats another reason why I didnt make the effort to paint it the vehicle color. That, and I couldnt resist putting a shine on it!

Tony W., thanks a bunch for the info and posting that French Flathead picture. I have searched the internet a number of times, but not found such an instructive shot that shows the block-off plates and the oil pipes in such clarity & simplicity. Hope you wont mind if I copy the photo for later reference. Tomorrow, I will check for any differences internally. Dont expect to find any, but keen to know for sure.

Lynn, I should have at least one of the bypass filter cans laying around here somewhere. With that, and Tony Ws photo, I shouldnt have any problems sorting out something suitable. I'm really not concered about having full filtration. Lets face it, some of these engines didnt even have an oil filter at all. Something between the two extremes will be acceptable. Oil changes will occur on an annual basis, and I am using a magnetic sump plug to catch what I hope wont be there in the first place. I'll have a look for good filter system parts tomorrow morning.

Thank you Gentlemen.
