Sometime long before I bought it, my 1966 S2A lost its original air cleaner and mount, in favor of a K&N filter. The K&N works fine and is easy to clean, but just doesn’t look right. I’ve started to look for an original air cleaner and mount bracket but have not found one as yet. As mine has a Kodiak heater and large under hood blower, I can’t imagine how it would fit. Anyway, it’s not a show car so it’s low on priority. Yours looks good. That rubber hose looks a little tired. Cheers.
Here in England we tend to use Hammerite metal paint with rust preventer, it comes in smooth finish or hammered finish and is brilliant stuff!!!
Thanks for the tip. I looked and it turns out I can get Hammerite in Canada as well. I will give it a try next time.

I was thinking the same about the hose. One step at a time. Maybe with the next parts order :-)
