Safety wiring oil filters?

Just answered my own question with a web search, which is what I should
have done first.

put a hose clamp around the filter, then wire the hose clamp to the
filter adapter.

Or, buy a K&N filter, which has the high pressure properties of the
FRAM HP series, plus safety wire tabs.

I selected a filter that has a hexagonal nut on the end as a part of the
body. I drilled a safety wire hole thru the nut (it doesn't leak). Been
doing this for about 3years with no problem.

The old Hastings filters were nice that way - you could easily drill
the "nut"
