Original H-filter

#1 Post by Norm Miller »

Here is an original Hfilter before I refinish it showing decal positions.
The color seems to be silver with a slight greenish/yellow hue.

Perhaps of interest as another reference re. your Hfilter restoration; herewith is a photo of my C engine redo showing its unrestored Hfilter with original paint, decals, fittings and strap.

The silver H-filter and Fram canisters are clear-coated from the factory and it is the clear coating that discolors due to heat and age...

Great Info!
Is there a current silver paint that duplicates the original factory color?
The clear coat on mine had a yellowish tint which was to b expected.

Thanks,
