air cleaner

[BristolBul@aol.com]

morgan advisors:

my recently acquired '61 plus 4 has an archaic steel gauze air cleaner 
feeding into a tapered manifold feeding into the SU's

i seem to remember having filters like this on some old MG's but i can hardly 
remember

was this type of air cleaner intended to be bathed in oil and drained in 
order to more or less act as a filter in the old days?

i've heard of machining off the intake manifold to make room for a pair of 
paper air filters but i'm not ready for that yet
