Are there filters available that can be wire tied? My remote oil filter mount is 3/4-16 thread size and is designed for the Fram PH8A type filter. I notice that aircraft filters have a male and not female fitting. I could remove the male fitting from my mount, but I don't think the aluminum threads would hold up well if they were subjected to frequent removal/install. What is a best practices solution?
