FH - Burgess Air Filter

The original Burgess air filter was missing from the Huntmaster kit, so I bought this one on eBay at an exhorbitant price. It was complete apart from the rubber hose which I got from Jeff Hunter Engneering.

It’s in pretty good nick apart from the loose and damaged mesh:

After a trip to the painter, it’s looking even better. I bought some brass mesh on eBay and cut a bit with shears:

These three items I’m using to weigh the mesh into the bed of Araldite are locomotive keys:

You need one to make this beast go:

Air filter in situ. Looks great!
