Is the 356 oil filter setup available aftermarket?

the 356 isn't but i think the Okrasa set up is. Most of the Okrasas that i've seen use the fram type oil can filter. It's just two fittings one connects to the oil presure outlet and thats a banjo fitting and the other is a hollow bolt that installs in place of the dizzy stud bolt.

We had to search swap meets to find a set.. usually you have to buy the complete filter just to get the fittings.
The old Okrasa oil filtering system was ineffecient and took oil away from the bearings. maybe keep it looking like the classic setup, but full flow it just for the extended life of your motor.
