kdancy Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 They were the first place I looked as I buy quite often from them. Great company to deal with. I didn't see the material in rolls, only in a hand type cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Su8overdrive Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Take your ancient air cleaner, whether oil bath or not, to a decent parts house and find a modern paper element that will fit, or can be trimmed to fit. No one will know, and it'll deliver cleaner air to your engine than even a well-tended oil bath filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found a original heavy duty oil bath cleaner that I will use. Those oil baths are hard to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mitchell Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Go to the grocery store or Target and get some copper dish scouring pads - same material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
