Some of the cheapo aftermarket ones we get now are just a cast alloy boss, threaded. No nipple..
These housings have a weird thread tapped for the nipple where the pipe goes on, it's 14mm or something.

I was wondering if the OZ oil filter housing are different to the UK ones. Is the nipple cast or does it screw into the housing I am referring to the spin type Ta Kiwiinwgtn |

They all came from the UK. The nipple is steel. The alloy body is threaded and the nipple screwed in to it, I think they used a bit of locktite on them, but they will come out. |

Now you mention it, one or two I have maybe the same. Most I've had (early ones?) had a steel nipple. Sometimes they have come out with the filter. |

Is the spin on filter common on OZ cars or did most of them get the cartridge type Ta Kiwiinwgtn |

Cartridge were most common here. We didn't get spin-on really until the 998 UK motors replaced the Oz 1098 in ?1974-75 or so. Then Oz Mini production ceased in Sept `78 and that was that (except for a few more years of Mokes). |

If it's a common 998 Deluxe 3 synchro, the ratios are nothing special. But the 998 Cooper (not many made) got S ratios (3.2:1 1st gear) and a 3.765 diff. |

Good news looks like the box is a 22g1128 four syncro My friend found the filter housing here's hoping its a early one with the steel center |
