Air filter element wanted

[bikemadinspain]

Hi, I have a 53 650 Plunger with the small filter element. Does anybody know how I can make one or much prefered where I can get one from?

Many thanks

I need one too - and an air box to put it in!

Ah I seem to be one step ahead of u then... I found mine about 12 months back on E bay with a piece cut off it where the rubber connector goes. Now after a bit of welding and finishing its looking pretty good.   

The worst thing about it I saw the question asked b4 about where to get an Air Filter element from and all the details including the E mail address were given.   I obviously took a note of the details and put them in a safe place. The only problem is of course is I cannot find the sodding safe place!!!

cheers

Hi. I bought a large piece of vacume cleaner motor filter and cut to size then fitted over the wire gauze on the insert. It worked for me and was cheap. Here is a link to what I bought. Cheers, John

When I had a plunger A10 fitted with the standard air filter box I used the element from an early Ford Fiesta.  One of these was about a foot in diameter and it could be cut into 3 to make 3 elements for the A10.

Thanks Ted, I have bought the previously mentioned filter yesterday off Flee Bay.

but thanks very much for letting me know I intend to keep the bike long term so all info is is good info.

All the best
