 Computer design flaw?  😱

 Okay,  so back to the original question. How come the filter blocks off the engine breather tube?

Subject: [Healeys] Fwd: 100 air cleaners. 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?M

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?
