MK2 Carrier oil filter elements?

rob love · #1 08-05-12, 03:05

I am working on a Lynx, but the filter housing on the mk2 carrier is actually a Lynx item, as evidenced by the part numbers prefix (C29SR). A search on MLU revealed the commercial part numbers were Kralinator K505 and K507 (two separate filters that join together). I have tried searching for them on the internet, as well as trying cross references on some of the other manufacturer's websites (Wix and Baldwin) but to no avail.

What are you guys using for the mk2 oil filter cannisters?

I have a few NOS surplus oil filter sets in stock. Never did find any commercial sources. Will be away for a few days but can check stock next Monday.

Thanks Brian, I would appreciate that. The Kralinator numbers seem to be a dead end.

Rob, I searched several brands and they seem to be obsolete. I went to an auto parts store and found two that I was able to adapt to the canister,but Brian's filters are the best way to go.What I did was the same price,and a lot more work.

Hi Guys
I'm new to MLU, I'm restoring a Mk 2 and need a pair of the Kralinator filters (and a bunch of other stuff). Are they avialable and what price?

Hi George

I am afraid my query to Brian has spurred the interest of all and we cleaned him out of these. There may well be small lots of them with other collectors, but it will be up to them to offer.

Bob
The mk2 carrier cannisters are very different. The top one has jar type threads on each end, while the bottom one has one single jar type thread. The two attach together and the whole outfit then attaches into the filter housing. These filters are desinged for full flow, unlike most of the flathead filters which were only partial flow.

No doubt that a substitute could be made, but there is nothing like the real thing.

Any pictures for the illiterates.....??

Surely the filter can was an after market item in the late 1938-9sss

Is there nothing available from the Ford repro market today.....?? Mac Auto....??

Ebay NOS stuff...... farm tractor collector market....?

Judging by the part numbers assigned from Ford, the filter was only used on the Lynx and the mk2 carriers. It was a kralinator product and was a bit ahead of it's time and slightly overbuilt as well. Many gas engines at the time were either using no oil filtration or only partial oil filtration. This kit provided full filtration as well as adding another couple quarts to the lubrication system which would keep the temps cooler.

When I say jar threads, I mean threads sort of like you would find on a military gas mask cannister.

I did a fair bit of research into these filters and there was no direct replacement.

My scanner is down right now, but I think the carrier parts manual has a reasonable illustration of it.

If Dirk doesn't mind, here is his photo of the carrier filters.
