| Subject: | Brackett Air Filter |
These air filters are simple but do a great job of keeping silica out of
the engine. "Dirt" causes rapid wear in any engine. Off-road racers for
example, depend on them.
I can't say I ever saw a measurable difference in Manifold Pressure by
adding a filter but I'm sure there is some loss. For the air racing that I
did with the CJ, I replaced the whole unit with a ram air duct. I did
design a retro-fit kit for a K&N style filter but it offered no advantage
in performance or price.
Order directly from Brackett, I think it is a B-197, you won't find it
listed. I have operated from short, turf fields and the best fix for that
is an M-14P. Suck it up, Go Big or Stay Home.
BTW, Allen Baker of Gulfport, MS is the new, proud owner of N285CJ, he just
got it home on Sunday after several days of sweating out Florida heat
training with Pappy. Pappy hung in there but did look like one tired old
dog on summer afternoons =F0=9F=98=82

Guys,
I know there is at least one CJ with a Glider towing hitch out in the USA. If memory
serves, it arrived in the US already in this configuration.
I would like some pictures of the installation, so whoever owns the airplane right
now could you please contact me directly.
Thanks

I=99ve used the Brackett filter on the M-14P of my CJ for years.
No significant loss of power noted. Might be over-doing this, but I
change it every 50 hours.
Here's an image of the packaging. As mentioned, this is not listed in
their regular catalog.

I use one on my CJ6A and don't notice any power differences.

I don=99t think the 50 hour cycle is over kill.
Got my M14 powered CJ two years ago.
The bracket filter on the plane was adhered to the wire frame under and had
to be soaked off with AV gas.
I also change mine every 50 hours.
