Air Cleaners


These are an original set of air cleaners for a TR-3a that is also a 1-3/4" S.U. carb set up. These were set aside because they had a couple cracks on the back side where they are attached to the carbs. They have since been welded and sanded, primed, and painted. I think these are an exact match for the Jag. They are supposed to have a couple of decals installed that say what the service requirements are. Maybe later. I've never liked these things. The wire mesh is designed to be wetted with oil and that is supposed to trap the dust that is headed for the intake. They drip. Or the oil and the captured dust is headed into the intake. Generally, everyone runs these dry then they are good for keeping out the shop rag, rogue chicken, or tree branch and not much more.
