2001 Oil filter question

Hi All,

I bought my Mille last tuesday evening, I'm now doing an oil change on it.

I have a Hiflo HF152 filter which is the same length as the one I have just removed although it has a different number on the top. The old one is 2011154 and the new has 2011266 on the top.

Now when I've just removed the old filter there was a section of square alloy tube sat on the outside face of the filter, My instant thought is that someone has put it in as a bodge or is it supposed to be there?

Some googling later...... I THINK?............ that I have a short filter, and someone has fitted a later cover/cap in the past as its been converted to the long filter, and at somepoint ended up with the original short filter and a bodged spacer peice?
 
Brilliant..... well for knowing the answer but not knowing why someone would do that :dunno

I've fitted it back together with the new filter and bought a short cover off ebay so will treat this oil as a flushing oil!!! :eatcorn
