Installation notes
Clean the contact surfaces thoroughly before fitting. The gasket seals between the metal filter element and the filter housing. When servicing the oil-bath filter, always check the condition of this gasket — a worn or missing gasket allows unfiltered air to reach the carburettor.
Compatibility
Note: this is the gasket for the filter element itself, not the gasket between the filter housing and carburettor (which is a separate gasket). Oil-bath air filters have multiple gaskets — ensure you replace the correct one.
Historical context
Oil-bath air filters were standard equipment on WWII military jeeps and early civilian models. The system used multiple cork gaskets which required regular replacement to ensure proper operation.
