The standard spin on conversion is something like this where the spin on filter must mate up to a thin raised area of the standard filter housing.
I didn't like that at all and it limits more the types of spin on filter you can use.

I came up with this improved way of doing it.
First use a longer thread on the adaptor.

And then use another adaptor with a larger flat surface for the spin on filter to mate up too.

I got a few made up as the hydraulic filter is the same set up and I will post one to the Stalwart owner who gave me the rust free roof cabin entry hatches in thanks.

Looks pretty low in the water, I reckon you would want to be ready to exit quickly :)
Todays effort.
I found that Oversize sign.
I wanted to show the Stalwart climbing a steep hill, but the ground is still too wet in the area I had hoped to do the vid, so it was just fun sliding around in the mud today.

How close to your camera operator did you come in the first video he seemed to bail at the last moment:twisted:
My son knows me too well and also knew the Stalwart was not responding to the helm very well in a earlier run down the muddy area at speed.
I was trying to encourage the Stalwart to drift a bit and that is why I was driving around in circles.
As I stated before ground conditions at another spot were too soft to show the Stalwart climbing and when off roading in soft conditions in a vehicle of this size (11tons) without another vehicle of similar size to recover you any self recovery without a winching point anchor becomes extremely expensive in time and possibly money and the land owner could get upset too.
It is also the reason why I was checking out the winch rope on the previous page as a just in case.
PS
The local motor cross bikers do crazy things when they meet the Stalwart on a narrow track coming the other way
:angel::angel::eek:
Last weekend I realised the Stalwart had 286 miles on the dial when I first got it nearly 4years ago and has now just turned over 400 miles all mostly done in the paddocks near work.
The first 286 miles judging by the little wear in the vehicle to be correct ,took over 30 years shared between the British army and previous owners.
The British army knows how to get value back on their purchases....?????
