We replaced the multi-part CAV canister filters on our FL120s with spin-on adapters from Parker-Hannifin (the folks who own Racor) about 12 years ago. One of the four best improvements one can make to an FL120. We use Baldwin filters. Two adapters required per engine. At the time the adapter kits were about $50 apiece.

I have been thinking that way too. I saw one Lehman done like that. Just a matter of redoing the lines and making a bracket.
I still have a large stock of 2 micron elements....

Each of my Lehmans has a pair of Racor Dual Turbine 500's. Those give each engine switchable filters and then a secondary spin-on on each engine.
It's a very cool setup that makes it very difficult to have a fuel filtration problem you can't get home from.
