|
|
I was hoping some of you could help me with the following questions regarding Mann Industrial Air Filters:
- Is it acceptable / advisable / kosher to use Mann Industrial Air Filters with dual carb set ups on vintage speed 36hp motors?
- Does anyone have links to a DIY article on how to restore these filters? I looked on The Samba but could not find anything.
- Has anyone modified these filters to accept modern filtration instead of the horse hair / fiber that was originally used? Are there any other worthwhile modifications to make them perform better? Essentially I want the vintage look but adequate breathing.
Thanks. |

Thank you for the reply. Did your restore your filters (paint, etc) after you cleaned them? Any suggestions on dealing with the filter material?
Thanks again. |

Cool looking filters , what would their original application have been ? Any Mann part number or similar ? What diameter is it where it fits carb ? |

Not Mann filters, but like Kadrons, my type 3 carbs have a center stud mounting. I stared with some cheap 4" filters and then found at a resterant supply store some stainless drop-in holders that came in several sizes that can be made into air cleaner covers.
