Pancake air filter

Post by davidf » Fri Oct 04, 2013 12:50 pm

Does anyone have a website for suppliers of a thin pancake air filter with the correct oval mounting aperture for the standard Solex 26-35 CSIC Carb, and thin enough to fit in the space between carb and Lomax bonnet?

I would think that's why lomax made the oblong attachment to fix onto the top of the carburetor with a thin hollow section to take a pancake filter underneath it at the rear???

I saw, some years ago, an excellent home made version, they had used a 'Ye Old Oak Ham' tin and painted it.

Our own is a pop rivited temporary affair that has been maturing for 25 years!

I found one on ebay that did not have a place for the rubber breather pipe ,so drilled it and fitted a brass plumbing fitting with a tale,works nicely!
