and it remains "somewhat" flexible even after cured. Best $4 you'll spend for something to have around the shop.
I always kind of thought it was more of a push in than a pull in but you sure could be right. A question that will have to wait a bit for me, I have 8 filters done, 2 sheet metal patches 6 with fine screens. Resto is due for change before next season. Will prolly put in a screen version. Maybe I'll add a coarse screen for research purposes. I've been trying to do more of a warm up before riding but patience has never been my strong suit. Helps to have a knob on the idle screw on the 38s so it will idle while pulling on my gear.If you want to put on a fine screen and a coarser screen, wouldn't it be better to have the coarser on the inside.
It seems with the coarser on the outside it wouldn't support the finer on the inside.

Three years ago!!!!! I mentioned SS screen from flea bay sellers, well about a year ago I bought some and this week (shakes head) I actually used it and repaired some filters. Stainless Steel 304 Mesh #100 .0065 Wire. This is fine "mesh" about equal to the OEM but the stainless should be stronger than brass. Need to get a more slippery surface on my "gluing jig" Now I need to run them, guess piling on the miles will have to wait til next year.
There are several varieties of JB weld IMHO get the slow cure formula it has a higher temperature and strength rating. I was migging on sheet metal then JB welding sheet metal now trying the screen. I have some coarse screen also, that could be glued over the fine screen.
You asking ole 2 second memory gggary? My post sez 100 mesh, 400 finer? Too fine????
Yes, 400 might be too fine. I see they have 200, maybe a good compromise. Gary, does the 100 look to be the same size as the original?
