Replacement air filter for a Renegade "airbox" kit

#1 Post by Viking » Thu Oct 02, 2014 11:22 am

Hi again,

The filter on my Renegade kit is getting pretty worn and shabby. I've searched through AF1, here, RSVR.net and can't find a definitive "This filter will fit OK" message.

I've found reference to a JC20/100 filter - it looks like the right one. Does anyone have the relevant filter dimensions handy?

Many thanks,
V

Drop griff an email

I think he has a source....


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Hey Steve, I've got the same problem and trying to source a replacement on this continent.

I've got a few ideas and just need to put them into action. I'll let you know what I turn up and would appreciate a reciprocal agreement.

Dammit, I'm writing a shit load of official correspondence today and it's worked its way into this post

No worries at all Dale!

I am highly certain that a mutually satisfactory agreement can be entered into with a maximally synergistic outcome.

(Ha! Beat that one! :smt003 :smt003 )

If we all synergize our competences applying the kind of blus sky thinking that only the engaged emotional asset can input then with concentration and focus on the target and mission a suitably positive outcome can be achieved

Is that better?

Please, please, please tell me that you truly do not write that crap for a living.

I've found there are two disconnected halves to the IT world - the no-nonsense technical people and the MBA-waving paper-pushers. IT is a strange place with plenty of socially dysfunctional people at all levels.

Right, I never got a reply from Griff, so I presume my message got lost in the aether.

I did find the following:

The equivalent filter is a Pipercross PX 300 part.no C304D

Doing a Google search brought up a few hits, and two online stores selling them. The official PiperCross mob:

http://www.pipercrossusa.com/PX-300-Sin ... 5759963011

and a store in the UK:

http://www.burtonpower.com/parts-by-bra ... range.html

Burton Power where cheaper by about AU$20, so I have a filter winging it's way across the globe.
