Default VOKES air cleaner

The VOKES concertina air cleaners were standard kit on many early WW2 British vehicles . I have a few here , the aussie LP carriers used them too .

You cleaned them by pushing the end in and out , this would cause the element to concertina or squash down , releasing the dust . The element was felt . Years ago a WOT2 here was running one , but the felt had deteriorated with age , it slowly clogged up the carby with bits of felt ! We discovered that a modern paper cartridge filter element out of some tractor would fit right in , so that solved that .
