Oil filter

[vanbinst]

I own a Colvic 31 motorsailer equipped with a BMC 1500 engine and a gearbox from Newage(Coventry).The gearbox has an oil filter Crosland 471. I do'nt find a replacement. Can anybody tell me how I could find such a filter ?
By the way is there a specific Colvic website or usersgroup. My boat is lying in Cogolin, South France.I bought her in 1987 in Poole !
Many thanks

Go to a motor factors, give'em the numbers from your crosland filter and they will be able to cross reference it with other filter manufacturers. Fram will more than likly make one to fit.
Hope this helps

the filter was replaced by a blanking kit several years ago contact any prm agent who will supply one
ps the filter shape changed and the later filters will not fit as the canister flange is too large
