raildogg Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Need to know or find dimensions for a donaldson, or vortex type air cleaner can for big rigs. I would ideally like to have a blueprint or measured diagram, but a search for same turned up nothing I could use. Anybody HELP!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highway Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 If you just need some for a build, check out P&P Resinworks. Eric makes these Vortex aircleaners Here is a link to their homepage: http://www.ppvintagekits.com/index.html Click on the resin price list.

raildogg Posted April 6, 2013 Author Share Posted April 6, 2013 (edited) Need the real thing. Real measurements and reference photos will definitely help.Will make scale drawings from the 1:1 prototype. I guess cans from any truck will do, I'd think that they are all generally the same, such as 15" dia. and maybe 24-30" in. length. I'd like to know where in screened parts are located if any and how wide they are along the length of the can, like three in. or six in. Also the diameter of the duct work entering the can from the engine compartment is critical to my need.
