Thread: 72 petrol SWB fuel pickup filter?

Hello from Brisbane.

You can source both the feed pipe/mesh filter or the filters alone new from sources in the UK. John Craddock supplies the former and I saw a small notice for the latter in a recent issue of Classic Land Rover. I am travelling just now but could try to find the info on the filters when I get back home.

I couldn't comment on local availability of these parts, but some of the usual suspects - e.g. Roverparts, British Off Road - might be worth a check. Possibily a used item from a wreck might be suitable - the Ho Hars may have something in their pile.

Cheers,

Neil

I also saw a brief note in Classic Land Rover that someone in the UK was making them.
They are soldered to the pickup tube so possibly not available as a spare. If you can source some fine brass gauze it's something you might be able to make....but I bet there's an art to it !


Found them on ebay Land Rover Series 2/II/3/III fuel pickup pipe NRC6905 repair gauze/mesh/filter | eBay

i got some mopar units from the USA that have been working very very well..

were much cheaper at the time as well.

Thanks guys. I didnt think to look on ebay. Which is weird, cos I'm often on ebay.

Now that i know they're replaceable i might try and find some mesh and make one up myself.

Thanks

Dan
