Very good quality. My early Ford flatheads did not come from the factory with an oil filter. I looked at many filters that just did not look the part for a real hot rod, until looking at the Speedway catalog. The Offenhauser bee hive was the perfect choice.

For my purposes this item fit the bill perfectly. I'm not using it as a filter though, in my application it is an urn. My father passed away in 2012 an his ashes are now contained in this housing attached to the firewall of his '30 Roadster hiboy.

When changing the oil filter, is there a way to drain the old oil out of the bee hive canister? The original filter canister does not, so you have to remove the canister from its mounts in order to dump about 3" of dirty oil out. I am looking for a solution to this problem, and am hoping that this canister resolved this problem.
