Because of the extreme conditions Eccles operates in I need to replace the air filter every year.
Being the cheapo that I am I want to find a cheaper alternative.
Being smart enough to not want to re-invent the wheel I figured that if anyone had already done that someone here would know about it and at any rate I might get some good suggestions.
I do remember pics of a gutted filter with a nylon stocking stretched over it many years ago (posted by Shep or Reg maybe?) but I don't think that would keep out the sort of stuff I need to keep out. Eccles runs on a combination of dirt roads and paved ones that have been treated with grit & sand to reduce the need for salt when it snows.
