Looking for an A.C. Sphinx air cleaner

Having done a bit of research online, it seems that the Lister CS uses a similar air cleaner. There's a place selling new ones here:

However, from the picture it looks like a somewhat cheesy Indian copy of the original (but I'm prepared to be convinced otherwise if anyone has one). Also, I don't know the diameter of the opening.

Anyone got a Lister CS air cleaner they want to sell, and if so what is the diameter of the opening in the bottom?

Many thanks,

Chris

The CS is a larger version, about 9" diameter, I've got a new one somewhere, I'll check the sizes tonight.

AC made these in 4 or 5 different diameters by memory. Bedford used them on their small trucks.

Thanks. That would be great. I think the one I need is about 6" in diameter, but that's just a guess based on the picture. I haven't actually seen one to measure.

Best wishes,

Chris

There's a dry filter version as well, uses a throw-away element.

By the way, there are a couple of other small parts I need for this project:

- Wipac glass bowl fuel filter with 1/4" BSPP connections

- 1/8" BSPP male to 1/4" BSPP female adaptor banjo or elbow

If anyone has these for sale in good condition, or knows of a source, again I'd be grateful if you'd let me know.

Best wishes,

Chris

Did you get chance to check the size of the Lister CS air cleaner?

No hurry.

Best wishes,

Chris

By the way, I'm also looking for the following:

- Champion 7 Com. L spark plug (18 mm thread, 5/8" reach).

- Wico Series "A" magneto extra long oil tube (fitted in place of the normal oil tube when the magneto is in an awkward location).

If anyone has either of these items, please let me know.

Best wishes,

Chris

Still looking for it, Chris, I think it went into the loft when the house building was going on, and is possibly buried.

I'll venture up there tonight and see if I can find it.

You could try:

and if you want proper knurled nuts (Ooooh missus!) and terminations for HT leads, try here searching in Ebay for the seller called rattlenackers.

Thanks. That's actually just a 7 Com. equivalent I think, similar to the commonly available Champion D-16. The 7 Com. L has a longer reach.

Best wishes,

Chris

No problem. I understand. That kind of thing happens to me a lot!

I have also been told that the Lister SR engines use a similar air cleaner.

Best wishes,

Chris
