Hi Graeme,

Thanks for the photo.

Yes, that's the fairly common American type decal that many vintage Ford parts suppliers sell.

As others have pointed out many people, including myself, forgot that Flathead/Sidevalve V8 production shifted to Canada during the war so not everything has "Made in USA" on it.

Anyway, if I get the Canadian info I will make my own decal, otherwise I will leave the canister blank. Not a high priority but would be nice to have the correct decal for a Canadian engine if available.

Cheers,

This is the replacement i found here in my contry.

Hi Mariano,

Good find. Just looking at the proportions of it I would guess that element is for the longer oil filter housing using two clamps to hold it.

Cheers,
