[Healeys] 100 air cleaners.

[Hank Leach]

These are my early "wetted" air cleaners which I wash in paraffin.
Don't believe the breather is blocked. The second photo was supplied
by John Wheatley showing nameplates. Hank

 I cannot be sure but it looks as if this is fitted with a dry filter
element. The originals had an oil-wetted element that had to be washed
out in paraffin from time to time and then re-wetted. Rather messy. 
 I don't have a filter to hand but perhaps the wetted type did not
block the breather pipe. 
 All the best

  This picture shows an original BN1/2 front air cleaner back plate
and an original air filter element. Interestingly when this unit is
assembled the "O" ring of the element almost completely blocks off the
engine breather tube in the back plate which renders the engine
breather system inoperative.  Bit odd?
