Oil Filter Bracket

I am looking for a photo of a F head oil filter bracket that attatches to the head. Mine appears to be missing the lower left hand corner. It appears that it had a bolt hole in line with the oil filler strap but I cant tell. Any help ???

Also it appears that there was a copper or brass coating on the rigid oil line??? Is that accurate ? They are rusted some so it is hard to tell.

Great site, thanks for all the help it has provided. I read the pages about valve lapping and decided to try it. My valves look real good now.

This is a photo of my engine after cleanup and prior to tear down.

Oggie,
I just put some pics on Photobucket. Link here; (I hope)

The oil filter on my 53 CJ3B has the corner much like Steves. There are a some pictures in the oil filter folder. Also in the folder are some pictures of an unpainted oil filter and mounting bracket. It is mssing the lower left corner that you wrote about. I think the unpainted filter is from a mid 1960's CJ5 with A F134 engine. I don't know why that corner is different.

Thanks Steve. Mine looked just like Don's in the pic above. I welded a new corner on it and drilled a new hole. it looks like a 3/8 spacer (5/16 center) would work so thats what I am gonna do. It seems that not using the spacer is why it broke in the first place. It is coming together nicely so far. I will post an update photo soon. Thanks again...
