Air filter for Slimline singles

Mike, I have one buried in my shed, never had time to find it last year but when I do I'll see if I can get some made up in stainless.

The thread is imperial and will also fit the Amal Mk 1 626.

Just not had time to get out there.

Hi Neill

i haven't checked the parts book presumably but they would be similar on a wideline?

Will be interested to see what you have.

cheers

Iain.

Hi Iain,

Hope all is well down under.

I was thinking of starting a thread: 'Wheel building by candle light.'

Anyway, back to the topic: I bought this filter from Martin Bratby, several years ago. He told me he had an Amal proto type air filter for singles somewhere, eventually he found it and I managed to persuade him to part with it.

I had it in my hand about 3 years ago while doing some shed organising so I know it is in there.

It is basically a pancake filter but the pancake is very slim. You would need to make up your own filter material. I have promised this before but a priority to find next spring. I don't mind being reminded next April.

When found I will photograph it on a Model 50 and as a stand alone. If there is any interest I will see about having some made up in Stainless.

The slim gap between oil tank and inlet is about the same for both F/bed frames and this will fit on the slimline. Therefore...

Mike,

Will do and as I said to Iain, give me a reminder round about April if you have heard nothing.

For 2018 it is a priority!

With the current supply situation re Dommy barrels filtration has become important. I made that decision 20 years ago with the 99 and now have exellent compression and no wear . Absolute performance is now secondary to reliability and keeping the bike on the road for my last few years in the saddle.

Quite right Robert, looks like I'm going to have to put my hand in my pocket again and have a filter made as a template for the club, as I did with the engine plates you all know about.

Has anyone ,have a pair of tank badges for 1961 Domi 99ss for sale please send details and price to

batt.boyten@gmail.com the long type I think as not sure they must have three screw holes.

thanks Barry Boyten Essex branch

Barry I think you need to post that in the wanted section of the classified ads

Got a lovely pair but just about to give them away down under. Originals too. Shame you didn't ask me last August.

I too asked this question a while back now. I have tried various types of filter with a view to modify ing, but with no luck yet. This is one of those things that the club should invest in if an original can be found.

I have a slimline and a wideline ES2 and know at least 3 other people that have expressed an interest in fitting an air filter.

The Norville filter box can work,especially now we know of a filter that will fit in it. It is a bulky faff to fit and expensive if you buy the carb adaptor and rubber connector (which is not a good fit on the carb ring).Its done the job, but if it were possible to fit a rubber hose and a pod filter thats what I would do, but very narrow space.
