Hi everyone,

Hope some of you can help me out.  I was looking at my air cleaners for my 65 
TR4 and they do appear to be dirty.  I wanted to get some new ones but all the 
catalogs list them at $35 or more.  I don't want to spend $70 plus on air 
filters so here are my questions:

1.  Is there a way of cleaning the existing ones?

2.  Is there a vendor that sells cheap replacements(I have the filter that has 
two plates attached to either end and the hole in the center for the valve 
cover venting tube).

3.  Can my existing airfilters be separated from their plates without doing 
damage so that I can possibly slip a larger Fram version for the TR6?

4.  How do I know that they really need replacing.  They are dark but not black 
and appear to be seeped with gasoline or oil(maybe from the valve cover vent 
tube).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As always, thanks.
