If anyone's still using the short oil filters, Aprilia Performance have 100 in stock.

Give them a ring on (01827) 285500

'Scuse my ignorance but why would we not be using short oil filters? :smt017

Surely a long one won't fit, or have I missed another trick?

I've moved over to the new one but as I still have the old cover I could actually use either.

They couldn't pay the original manufacturer, champion?, so had to go somewhere that would give them credit and they new supplier came back with the newer longer fitting. See I do try to pay attention even though I sit at the back :smt001
