Title: C15 air filter
Post by: Tigerfeet on 23 Jun, 2024, 10:50
My 1966 C15 project has the original air filter complete with a central  black cloth material - which is falling apart.  I was thinking of trying to fit aan air filter foam such as this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/145743859681    But they all seem to be 15mm deep.

Alternatively I have found computer fan airfilter gauze: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111895071431    This is 3mm -and probably squashes thinner.)  My plan would be too sandwich it between the two original filter meshes.

Has anyone tried using this?

Can anyone think of a good reason for not using it?  (Is the mighty C15 like to suck it out of the mesh holders and into the engine?!)

I found a local filter manufacturer who made filters for air con units, he had loads of filter foam in the dustbin and was happy for me to grab some.
Works fine
