    Coolant Filter for 95 Cents

    In the Twin Cities we have a surplus store called "Ax Man", and I found they have a box full of these 2" cooking strainers for only 95 cents plus tax.
    I used my Dremel to cut the wire off the handle and hook. This leaves a perfect 2" strainer to fit in the top hose, close to the radiator. Radiator Filter 95 cents.JPG

      X2 The price of materials would be considerably higher. Are they stainless?

        Yes, they are stainless, but I only bought 3 of them.

          Tom, if you over there again, pick me up 3, or we can swing by before the meeting.

        Found a Cheap Radiator Filter
        by Tom Wesenberg
        The local surplus store has these 2" strainers for 95 cents.
        All I have to do is cut the wire off both sides, and it will make a perfect filter for the top hose.

        Coolant Filters
        by Dennis
        Anybody else use a coolant filter to keep the nasties out of the radiator core? I've had a lot of trouble with rust flakes from my engine that sat for 37 yrs full of rust flakes. I've chipped, done the wiggle wire reaming, has been sand blasted where it was visible, sat for weeks with evaporust, and pressure washed recently. I knew some would eventually pop loose and find their way to the radiator...

        Question on Thermostat
        by copgib
        Here in the near future I plan to flush out my engine and I was wondering once this is done I plan to install a gano filter on it and was wondering if I should leave the thermostat out for awhile to let the gano filter catch anything that might come loose after the flush. Thanks Hugh

        Stock oil filter
        by Fourdy
        I am using the stock flatty filter for the first time on my new engine. While cleaning it up I find only one very small hole in the inner tube about an inch from the top. Should there be more? I also have the restriction fitting at the canister inlet. These holes sure do seem to be small.

        Look forward to the answers so I can move on.

        Gano Filters
        by copgib
        You guys that are using one of these on your car, which design do you prefer? Clear, brass or aluminum. It looks like I would need the large after I measured my radiator hose. My understanding is the clear one you have to cut your radiator hose to have room to fit it. I would like your input please. Hugh

        Oil Filter Question
        by dmdeaton
        One more before I go to bed. The roadster has a oil filter block on it with some modern hot rod braided stainless lines going to it. Can I replace these with tubing? Nothing flexes on this and I would like to tone it down a bit so it doesn't look so out of place....

        Options for air filter brackets
        by Curly
        Snyders carries the airmaze and hi-boy style brackets. I've always used the airmaze but the risk of dripping gas is a concern. Has anyone ever used the hi-boy style? how do you like it? Are their other options?...

        Wix 33039 glass bowl filter
        by dmdeaton
        I have read the sticky in the tech section over and over. I have an original glass sediment bowl and 2 filters from Red Quail. With the filter and gasket installed there is no way the wire bail will slip over the glass. What are you guys doing to run these?
        I am not sure these are the Wix filters, as Red Quail has them in their own branded box. The upper gasket is made from light green fairly...

        Adding a Wix paper filter fuel filter on a 31
        by old31
        I have my Wix filter on the glass bowl, as shown in one of Mitch's photos resting in the depression. I have a screen on top of that, and a new cork gasket on top of the screen. It leaks.

        The gasket is covering all of the holes around the filter. Should those holes be exposed? I am not sure if it makes a difference. I am guessing that the fuel enters through the center hole and goes out...
