Whilst sanding yet another lumpy patch of wall-plaster in my new old
house and thinking of the far-off day when I might actually complete and
drive my car, I've wondered at times about how I might be able to keep
the cool-looking gravel-strainers on my Zeniths in an environment where
the the dry air contains dust composed of equal parts of clay and
whatever makes up "glacial till". Scratchy *and* gummy.

I've wondered about how effective it would be to cover each strainer
with some version of the disposable paper hats used by workers in
operating rooms and food-preparation industries. They're paper with
 enough porosity to keep heads from sweating, and pre-formed with an
elastic around the opening. I've seen similar ideas used to cover
home-electronics components. Even if they loaded up after a few drives,
a box of them would cover a lot of drives, and they could be whipped off
easily for show.

Thoughts?
