[Healeys] air cleaners

[Simon Lachlan]

Yes, I’ve has a little screwdriver and a couple of ring spanners out of mine.

To fully explore the hidden depths, try stuffing a short length of garden hose into your best vacuum cleaner’s inlet. Masking tape over the gaps and switch on. Wiggle the hose around down there and see what it latches onto or how many little washers etcetc go into the bag. 

Only takes a sec.....

The nuts go down the frame hole where the two frame bits that come off the pedal box some together.  I use a snake to get in there every time I drop something, 9 times out of 10 I get the nut or bolt back.  

 

One time I managed to pull up a spanner that had been in there for 30 years from the previous owner... LOL
