Well bearing in mind this was to be fitted to a JB van and mine is a J, their new air cleaner unit was more for the filtration aspect than noise. They do have very dusty roads out there. Enclosed are view of the new air cleaner unit fitted by BUGLYVAN (link to his blog on the right). Like him I'm a member of the MCJTV group, for J type owners around the world, a more technical and how to do it, kind of site than rally pictures.
If you have a J, it would be worth joining the group, all are welcome and you might just learn something.
The original JB air cleaner assembly.
The new unit fitted to the engine.
The new unit assembled on the bench.
The kit of parts, all the brackets are custom made!! nice job BUGLY!!What have I been doing? Well as promised Thursday night and in the dark I turned ROD round to work on the off side. By torch light he got jacked up and and both front and rear wheels and drums have been removed.
I took pictures but flash in the dead of night did not produce good results to publish here.
Full details of the Modification...
Hi Magpie -The Aussie air filter modification is basically an off-the-shelf Donaldson air cleaner assembly, with a double paper element air filter inside. The white pre-screen on top is a 50mm waste vent screen, and the filter outlet couples directly to the cast aluminium carburettor inlet via 3 x 50mm x 90 degree rubber elbows and some 50mm pvc pipe to join them together.The whole lot sits nicely under the engine cover, with not a lot of room to spare. The mounting brackets were designed to act as a heat shield to protect the air assembly from the exhaust manifold.If any JB owner wants more information on the Aussie air cleaner modification, they can contact me at Buglyvan@gmail.com and I will answer all of their questions.Cheers - Bugly.
