MG MGB Technical - Early MGB oil filter head alternative

Attached is picture of 2 oil cooler take off. I had the one with an angled outlet fitted and was obviously having trouble with the flexi pipes fitting. Now aquired the correct one ( on the left straight outlet)
Can anybody identify which cars the angled outlet one fits. It has an ident number of FA 5601

Does anybody know what the angled outlet one fits?
A J Dee

No idea. MGA perhaps?

Not MGA.

I havnt seen one like that before!
Colin Parkinson

As this is painted maroon and is off a BMC B series engine, may I suggest it is an aftermarket oil filter head for fitting an oil cooler to a MG Magnet, I don't know this for definite but seems probable,
Andy Tilney

It is made by tecalemit, same as the MGB ones, same in all details apart from the angled outlet.

I have several of those - as far as I can remember they came from 1622 B series engines NOT fitted with an oil cooler but the solid pipe that ran under the distributor.

Here you go - usually found on Austin / Morris / Wolesley engines - the MGA had an oil pipe that ran over the top of the distributor .
