I appreciate the offer Hanno, at least I would know what the missing words are. If I could get a good photo of the decal flat I believe it can be printed onto decal paper but any photos of decals on air filters will be 'curved' and my computer skills are way short of managing that level of work.

Is that filter standard fitment on a MK2 *? Mine just has a standard cap. Mike if you haven't already ordered the air filter sticker from LwD, could you order two and we can share the postage. Cheers Ron

Hello Ron, see the link I posted above: "In 1941, a Service Bulletin announced that a Oil Bath filter was introduced for "Heavy duty service in dusty conditions"." So it wasn't a standard fitment.

Thanks Hanno. I did read through your link, but wondered if carriers came into the frame as it being an essential fitting. I'll leave mine as it is as it marked for Europe anyway. Cheers Ron

The help available from this forum never fails to amaze me. Jordan, well spotted and many thanks. Ron - yes will do and Hanno, I don't know about standardisation as every Carrier seems to be slightly different. A friend of mine has a carrier same mark as mine and only 3 months apart from mine in build date but has various differences. His has a bypass oil filter which mine does not, each Carrier has different fire extinguisher brackets etc etc whether they started life the same and have had changes to some parts since is most likely or maybe the parts fitted did vary from month to month even when new. so far as anecdotal evidence has it the crankcase air filter has always been on my carrier but who knows as that 'evidence' certainly does not go back all the way to 1944. Variety is the spice of life!!

Absolutely. While waiting for the new decals to arrive does anyone have an original picture of the decal on the large air cleaner as I am not sure where it should be positioned?
