> When changing my oil and removing my filter the spin on mount came off
on my '84 Westy.  I just put it back on as snug as I could, but I'm
wondering if that's going to hold or not.  Is this a common issue?  What
could I do to prevent it again?

not sure on the waterboxer but on my aircooled engines the threaded part
is just a nipple.  it got removed and a longer one put on when i put the
oiol cooler on.
