Vaj Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I just found this which is similar but too long. Anyway I saw some people who used houses and glued them on a pipe but this can be better! Maybe someone finds the right version of the filter. This one could be cut to the correct length I think. http://www.watertreatmentsupply.com/produc...SCO-FILTERS.jpg Vaj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pappy Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Well.....its best if you do it on your own with some sort of tubing(forgive me i dont know the name,but it is there somewhere on the older thread)....the filter is less accurate IMO Here you can see the most accurate one ..........no its not mine (property of RocKo.

dutchy Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I tried to use an airfilter too, but it didn't look like the one used in the movie..not even after 10 beers. Wasted time.. So Rocko's option is the way to go .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaj Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 well the filter I showed here is not correct. But the hoses are inaccurate as well. Obviously they used a filter so the task is to find a filter with wider and thicker folding! more like this: http://www.getectuning.de/pics_small/E-925...FB160310BAD.jpg http://www.bonneville-shop.de/Technique/K_N_air_filter_l.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchy Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 The filters shown in the links are all airfilters..and none look like the one used on screen, which have rounded tubes and are tapered or cut off diagonally at the end. I tried air filters too, but none matched. <_< The thought even crossed my mind that it are bamboo sticks glued to a round surface.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaj Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 they are very similar in my opinion and look way more accuarte then hoses on a tube. The top and bottom needs to be taken off and they can be cutted. I did not say this are the ones they used in the movie I only asked if someone have found the correct ones and gave a direction! Hoses on a tube is not a solution to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sand_storm Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 It's only been primed at this stage but here is the filter I made recently. Finding a straight-walled plastic canister of the approximate diameter was the hardest part. The tubing is 10mm PVC pipe glued on and then I bevelled the ends with my dremel and a sanding drum.

That looks great... What did you use for the actual canister? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sand_storm Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 That looks great... What did you use for the actual canister? Thanks! It was just a straight-sided canister that I found in work - about 3.75 in diameter and about 8 inches tall with a screw top lid. We used to use them for soaking machine parts in alcohol to sterilise them. I'm sure I could find them in our lab supply catalogue - if I do I'll post a link here.

dutchy Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 That is for me the most accurate filter"replica"I have seen so far Sand_storm. Great job!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pappy Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 i must say so too dutchy,heres another from Rocko(may i borrow the pic roger? ) from the SWPropaganda forum i say yes it is very similar though we havent know what they really use for the movie...........yet,but what im certain is this: it is old type and cheap crap :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sand_storm Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Hi All- I had a look in the lab supply catalogue and the canister I used is discontinued - but there is a version available that has basically the same dimensions. It's called a 1 litre shoulderless LDPE container and is available from the Fisher lab supplies company. Stock # FB59641 You'll have to trim about 2 inches off but the bevelled ends of the 10mm PVC will hide the cut end. Thanks for all the comments! chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashmann Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Very nice work recreating the air filter! A while ago, someone posted this page from a maintenance manual: However, in figure 2, when comparing the size of the filter to the hand, it makes me think this filter is too small.

Pappy Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I guess,like the 'radio box',it is not well published/documented at the time,so we find a hard time searching on the internet. I'm still searching numerous parts on a used stuff markets,stores,still had no luck kabooom...kaboo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
