Nice photos.
Thank You

Very, very good job Robert. Thank you very much for doing this and the other filter cut and open.
I've got a cut tough guard, I'll try to remember count the pleats on this, the TG is 43 IIRC, I'll double check though.
Thank you and you're welcome of course.

Thanks spending the money and for the C&P.
Definitely a cut above an EG, Looks like a TG with a metal seam clamp. So arguably a little better than TG.
You're welcome of course.

Looks just like the A02 with the metal seam
You're welcome.
Yup, the seam clamp like A02.

ToughGuard based on the mileage recommendation and filtration.
Cheaper to buy a ToughGuard though, but may be a decent deal through some of their oil/filter combos.
Curious the metal seam clamp the TG doesn't have, yet same mileage recommendation.
Other things I noticed.
The tapping plate holes look slightly different than I recall, I'll have to check is this is an optical illusion or faulty memory or if they actually differ.
The center of the dome end of the can is slightly concave unlike other FRAMs,
The coating is not rubbery like on the end of EG/TG/XG. I actually like it much better and a cap wrench should fit without issues.
