[Healeys] Fwd: 100 air cleaners.

[Michael Salter]

Hi John,
This is the element that I'm talking about.  It is a cleanable type and is
what was in this car with less than 30K miles.
The elements have a "rubber" ring on each side and the filter medium in
somewhat like a pot scrub.
Is that not the original type?
