I recently picked up an oil bath air filter on ebay with the intention of testing my refinishing skills on a spare rather than the one currently on my flat-six. If the result is a good one, I will swap it out with the one I'm currently running. Although the filter was advertised as in good condition, it is over 50 years old and had a fair amount of worn paint, rust and pitted in areas - nothing a little grinding and paint can't fix.....Continued
I decided to convert the original oil bath air filter setup to a more modern paper element style. The canister will look original but the innards will be modern. See for yourself here.
