Our M45A engine is from September 1935 (twin Magneto, GN6 and Vertex) The turret cap has the words “Clean Often” cast in. There was a gauze cylinder inside which is still there doing whatever it does! We now have an additional spin on type that was fitted as part of the engines rebuild.
Interestingly the huge amount of sludge built up in the sump was rock solid, and took several weeks to disperse in a heated tank of detergent.
The later 1936 instruction book I have mentions the spin on filter and the need to change the element, but not the turret so presumably it was out of action by then.
Gosh a year later and I’ve just seen your kind offer. Any info you could supply would be of great interest – as would any “spares” you may have!
