aircleaner inside

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

has anyone a picture of the inside of the aircleaner from an MB, or a drawing from it, with the right way the air goes ?

i read there are possibilities to use replaceble cartridges

the FRAM 2663A will fit without adapters or so , and give the engine more air than the original oilbath element ?

replacing with the original and back oil in it is a little job !

anyone expierence with this ?

thanks Erik

Haven't used the FRAM but this has been heavily discussed in the past on this site and parts of it might be here. Fellows used "doughnuts" from plumbing a toilet to adapt an air filter.

I used the Ray Cowdery device from the 1980s. A friend of mine made some out of plastic but it was too expensive to do these commercially so he quite.

This is the way my airfilter sets in the cannister. The air comes in from behind the cannister (toward the firewall).thru the airfilter and then up and out the top over to the carb.

I'm using an air filter element for a early '80s Nissan/Datsun Diesel pickup truck in my GPW housing. All it took to fit it was a ring made of plexiglas plastic to make a seating surface at the top of the aircleaner housing, and a length of 1/4-20 all thread. It's been in there since 1986, works well!

I have (2) of the metal donuts designed by Ray Cowdery I would sell for $50.00 each plus shipping.

I use the FRAM 2663A filter, it fits good at the top, at the bottem you need a 5mm round piece of rubber, i found something in the kitchen...

Following the suggestion in an earlier posting (mentioned above) - I found a couple of the rubber -toilet to floor- seals ($1.00 each on sale at a local hardward) and used the NAPA Gold 2036 ( ~$8.00) air cleaner element. Seems to fit nicely.

I think it is the plastic lid, which is on top of the filter in the first picture.

Maeserik, are those pictures of an M38? Shovel on the right side, square tube windshield frame, solenoid on the firewall. But the MB/GPW air cleaner throws me off??? The dry element is a nice touch that can be hidden away and not seen. Cool 8)

Bob N. showed us the dry air cleaner set up he installed several years ago. Bob, how much do you gain from the retrofit besides ease of servicing?

many things are the same on an M38, the M38 is just an after war evolution !

I find that every tip can be useful, the whole story of rebuilding transmission and transfercase can be useful for M38 owners to !

the solenoid on the firewal is a battery switch between the two batteries, M38 = 24 volt !

the switch can be reached inside the glovebox which can be closed by a key ! When the jeep is in the garage, we disconnect the batteries from the system by opening this switch ! a matter of safety !
