Hi gents of vast knowledge!
My Dominator 88SS has a somewhat uncertain history as some of you may have seen in my previous thread/s.
The engine looks a genuine 88SS of 1961 manufacture, the head is of the type seen on Norton Mercury, and with a downdraft inlet tract. It is currently fitted with a single 28mm Amal Concentric.
The frame, and I assume the attached tinware is from another model; the frame number corresponds with a 1962 build date. There's a circular cut out in the front of the pressing which I assume was intended for a rubber bellows or similar to an air filter in the "tin box" behind. The cut out is way too low however for the downdraft orientated and therefore higher inlet on the carburettor bell mouth and air intake.
Currently there's no air filter, which I'm not too happy about. But it's a pretty restricted space between the carburettor in front, the frame above, and the pressed metal fittings behind.
Can anyone suggest where I might source an air filter that would fit?
