Hi,

I take it it is the old type of which there were several versions

The exploded diagram in the topic attached may assist.

I have attached the link to the MOSS web site - whilst the above link is adequate it has no description of the parts.

In the link in the post above there is reference to a top plate.

The top plate is part of the filter head assy and is secured by three or more peening's over of the alloy center boss of the filter head.
The top plate is prone to becoming detached from the filter head but is easily fixed back in place with three fresh peens.
