Where to find flame arrestors

[NorinRadd]

Having a real hard time finding one. You must be able to get them somewhere for less than a couple hundred.

I just need the mesh. Not the cap.

Ive checked all the usual sites. Wouldnt pay 150 for a used one. I see k&n makes them but 250. My old ones arent in good condition. One is all bent and unraveled. For the cost of them tho ill just solder it and clean it and it can hang half off the plate.

I dont understand why they dont just sell the elements. My application has two outside bolts not one middle.

It is not a Filter. It is there to absorb the Heat from any Flame from a Backfire, to remove that a source of Ignition of any Gasoline Vapours in the Engine Compartment. That might be why they are not replaceable Media

For liability reasons. The majority of spark arrestors are riveted assemblies.

The factory ones on my motor are not riveted. They come apart

Most were riveted that I am aware of

A lot of OEM types were Riveted, they also look like a bunch of Stacked Fins. Others like Holley do use a Mesh.

Mine is like this with a two bolt hole metal cap. Sucks because all holley/k&n ones are single Center holes.

My Holley one, doesn't come apart.

Yah I see the rivets now that I zoom in. Damn. These two bolt ones are hard to find.

 

[QBhoy]

I’d cross reference and see if you can get one that’s used for the car that the engine was more commonly used for. See what guys used for fitting upgraded ones to their car.

How big is the Opening for the Carb? If it is the same as the Holley, you could use the old one as a Template to drill two holes in the top of the new one.
