FH - air filter

 You might recall that I recently oiled the air filter element with Morris SAE50 engine oil:

I left it sitting for most of a week before I assembled it. 

Here it is in place with the carburetter hose, which I got from 'Rubberman' Jeff Hunter Engineering.

Not cheap, but very nicely made.

 I've written about the value of the specialist suppliers before, in various media. As you know and can read in this blog I make a lot of (unobtainable) parts myself but we really must keep the specialist suppliers in business, particularly the ones that are making high quality stuff. I was speaking to one only this morning and they are really not making massive profits so we must support them and not dilute their market.

Without people like Acme, Draganfly, the AOMCC and several others, we'd have a lot of unrideable museum pieces.

Here's another example - Jeff Hunter Engineering, a.k.a 'The Rubberman'. I've got all the rubber parts for the FH, the W/NG and the Model A from Jeff. Here's a couple of examples:
