   You want to take the oil filter insert of the mk1 for the conversion on a 1.1?

   right, srs now.
   
   you have a 1.1 desire
   you also have a MK 1 VTR
   
   you want to, covert what? the VTR engine into the 1.1 shell ?
   or just change the oil filter, from the cartridge filter on the 1.1 to the spin on, for the vtr ?

   Or do you want to change the oil filter, from the cartridge filter on the 1.1 to the spin on, for the vtr and then put the 1.1 manifold onto the vtr?
