Default Air cleaner decals

I am looking for the decals which would have been on the air cleaners in the No2 Mk2* Canadian Carrier. LwD Parts have the one which I believe is correct for the main oil bath air cleaner as per the attached picture from their website. I also need the decal which is on the crankcase air breather, I have attached a picture of the remains of the decal on the crankcase breather on my Carrier but would like to get a new one. Does anyone know where I can get one or does anyone have the artwork electronically that I could then print out on decal paper?

That looks like the "United Oil Bath Air Cleaner" made by United Specialties. I could take pictures of the label on mine but I have no idea how to transform them into printable artwork?

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
