Volks air filter

HI All

Looking for a Volks filter for 3hw, I know I am not going to find an original but anyone bought a repo from anywhere or can recommend anywhere to get one from out in India

Regards

I think 'Cornucopia Enterprises' sell the nicest repro Vokes filters....But not cheap.

The eBay, Indian made Volks are very good. At £99.99, including mounting hardware, they are a bargain.

Re: Volks air filter

I bought an Indian copy about 5 years ago, it wasn't square in any direction and the outlet pipe was slightly too big for an original length of pipe I had which fitted on an original filter perfectly.

However I suspect not all Indian copies will be the same, but be aware you won't always get the actual item pictured on Ebay and its a long way to send it back.

Sorry to be so negative but that was my experience. Rob

Re: Volks air filter

I have one original and one Indian copy Vokes........neither currently fitted either.........

The Indian copy in this instance is a faithful copy of the original........all measurements matching................

The ONLY issue was the side-strap screws that were not tapped to the original thread size.......but apart from that minor point all was good.......

Robb, it was Shivam Auto Trader-http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VOKES-TANK-TOP-FILTER-BOX-BSA-TRIUMPH-NORTON-MATCHLESS-AJS-ARIEL-WD-ENFIELD-WWII-/121039424970?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts_13&hash=item1c2e830dca

I see now that the Data Plate is available with the proper black back ground for £12.99 with free shipping. The box itself comes with a brass plate but it is not painted. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-VOKES-TUBULAR-AIR-FILTER-BRASS-PLATE-FOR-BSA-WD-WM20-M20-ROYAL-SPARES-/181394979129?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2a3bfbb939

Re: Volks air filter

Wade that is good to know that there is a nicely made Indian repro Vokes and cheap. They can do it right when they want. The brass plate has raised lettering and I once painted an original that had lost it's enamel paint, by painting the whole thing black and then carefully rub it down with fine W&D paper on a block to just expose the brass letters.

The one that you refer to that is already painted is just silk screened, so when the paint comes off.....you are just left with a brass plate

PS Here is the original one I painted on my M20.
