Cab 12 Ford Air Filter

Ganmain Tony · #1 23-12-09, 09:07

Big question fellahs,

These are picture of Howards truck & the cab 12 air cleaner which has the offset unlike the 13 Cab Fords that don't.

I have a NOS air filter which does not have any bolts brazed to it. Howards from the picture clearly has some bolts brazed onto the offset.

Does that mean this is a modification? (sure looks like one) or is there a bracket that perhaps goes around the air filter and connects to the two rods that bolt onto the engine?

Air cleaner is correct but the brackets are a add on

Probably not a bad idea though as to not damage the carby throat or top

I went and checked out the filter on my cab 12 and found the air filter has two studs welded underneath, not braised on the side. With brackets to the intake, I will take photos on boxing day & post them if I can work it out.

Sounds interesting, look forward to the pics.

Went through an old ford part book with some illustrations of the air cleaner but nothing about clips. We seem to think the coil mounting bracket on the 13 cabs may work to bolt the air cleaner offset too as well. Any further ideas on this???

Thanks Micheal & a very happy new year to you too!

Looks like it may be factory or may be a modification. Where do the supporting rods bolt on to the engine Micheal?

Can any one else offer any input?

Still enjoying the Christmas & new year cheer. GT

Thanks Dirk - invaluable!

So the plot thickens!!!

Mick & Dirk have the same sort of set up. It would appear this may be the factory setup perhaps???
