Oil Bath Air Cleaner - With Preheat
Yay! Another project done...and it works!
Picked up this mess of an air cleaner last spring, so oily I couldn't hold it without rags. Of course the thermostat didn't work. $5 at the Woodburn VW show, next to a grass farm, in spring...living hell for the sneezy.
Well I finally got around to restoring the thing. Thanks go to German Supply for the NOS part, without it this wouldn't be possible.
A bit of history hidden in the pumpkin
long distance
mini-assembly of rare parts (2 years only)
yep dat's where it goes
finished, adjusted, tested
cheap thrills
delicious
out with the old
what's with me and orange anyway? (reminds me of 1930s aircraft)
What a weird gizmo but it seems to work. I'm keepin an eye on that sucker until I trust it. So far the engine seems happy with preheat.

They're out there in various states of disrepair. Maybe I can restore a couple more, it was rewarding.

Thanks! I'm trying to go for that 1930s racing plane motif.
It took me a long time to decide on orange. I really liked the burnished metal after sanding but it woulda been too much work to finish it all that way. I really wanted tomato red but ya can't buy it in regular rattle-can.
Of course now I'm all paranoid that it's not gonna work right, but I get like that after taking things apart.
