Well, I am finally looking at building up a 165 to replace my 150. The 150 has field approvals for both air and oil filters. Since my approvals were for my150 engine and not my airframe, I will probably have to go back to the FSDO to try for a field approval for the air and oil filter for the new engine...something I am really looking forward to (NOT!!!)

If anyone has a FAA signed field approval (block 3 of the 337) I would really appreciate getting a copy.

I could try for the oil filter based on my previous approval, but since the air filter is routed to a bigger carb, I can see some misery ahead if I try to use my existing air filter approval as a basis. I would appreciate any help anyone might offer. THANKS!

Larry,
I have an approval from SEA FSDO for an AC remote filter on my 180 Franklin in the Cruisair. Let me know if this will help.

I have a recent air filter field approval for my 165hp cruisair. I have the pics and paperwork for it. I used a spectre air canister with a cone type air filter. It dramatically increased static RPM over the unapproved bracket system used before.
 
Pat,
I would really appreciate getting a copy of your paper work. Please contact me off line at llowenkron at yahoo.com

Dan, I may need a copy of your paperwork too just to convince the FSDO that it also would work in a bigger engine. I think they would believe that it wouldn't work in a larger engine than mine.

Thanks!
 
Well you'd better just ship that orphaned 150 air filter set-up down here, Larry !
Operators are standing by.

The "other" larry or one of them.
