How To: C15a Wire-3 restoration

[Bob Carriere]

....how long will it last?????

Driving mine over very rough bumps...... maybe got daylight under the front tires..... the oil in the "normally" filled air cleaner spills out over the manifold ...on the inside engine cover.....and every staple hole in the engine cover now has a oil stain visible on the passenger side foot well.

Therefore....... after consulting on the Stovebolt forum.... I plan on using and older complete period 216 air filter and replacing the inside with a suitable corrugated paper filter...... it will be a Winter project with many trial and error to find the proper off the shelf paper element. Once completed I can sandblast the housing, repaint and install new decal stickers...... should have NO external difference visible but still filter adequately.

nice and beautiful has its price.

Cheers
