I am looking for some information about conversion of the swept oil strainer arrangement for a modern filter cell. I think I have read an article where this has been done inside the strainer housing, so that there is no visible difference.

That's an interesting idea James, I have a modern canister filter on my 16/80 and although I appreciate the improved filtration it provides it certainly stands out on the engine.

Hello James,
My 16/80's engine has such a conversion.
If you intend on using your car for any significant distances then this is a must.
What I like about it is that it is easily reversible and does not stand out like a sore thumb.
I tried to upload some pictures but without success (I can email them to you if you let me know your email address).
Best Regards
Chris

Hello Richard,
No PM in my inbox.
You can email me on cahallett@btinternet.com or on the Lag FB page I guess.
