Rogue Element Components Scale Air Cleaner

Rogue Element Components Scale Air Cleaner

OK, lots been happenin’ recently, so firstly here’s a quick synopsis- I had a kidney transplant, so a few folks hadda wait for parts: Things will be faster (& more often!) now that I’m not all sick. To paraphrase somebody, rumours of my/REC’s death have been greatly exaggerated. I’ll be ramping up my products accordingly. Mkay, enough o’that!

Newest item is an “Edolbrock’ Air Cleaner (Yes, it’s spelled with an O instead of an E, to keep Vic’s lawyers off my arse: It is very unnoticeable even if you know the right spelling, so relax, it’s on purpose.) Since my pics of some o’these for personal use a few years back, people wanted these. They work on about anything: Trucks, Cars, Sprinters, Monster Trucks, anything that could run a 1/10th 4-8 cyl. Engine! No detail was spared to make these as best I can- 6061 Alloy body, Milled Styrene pleated-type filter, hi-transparency mesh (May differ just slightly from pic, this is a proto, but it’ll be nice stuff: No window screen LOL!) and alloy steel 0-80 bolt & Stainless Nut. Size is 1.365 x .4 (34 mm. x 10 mm.)

Unit shown has the detail inked in: this will be up to the builder, as will mesh trimming & mounting of component parts (Easy stuff here Mates.) I recommend using a Tri-Grit sanding stick available at hobby shops, or even beauty shops for nail buffing. Hardest part is putting a hole in the hood! You can mount however you like, suggestion are in the instructions.

A couple notes on these- One, I am not taking deposits on the less-expensive items now (Under $50) since most chaps just buy ’em outright & it saves me a lotta time not sending Balance Dues on ’em. (Items over $50 will still have the $5 deposit option in the future.) Also, I’m running a deal on a pair of these, for Gents who want to run 2 to emulate a dual-carb setup or just want a couple singles for 2 different rigs.

Price is 28.99 each, or 2 for a flat 50-Spot: As usual, shipping is included anywhere!

Remember, these, like all of our offerings, are custom made in the REC Skunkworks, and are ONLY available for a SHORT TIME! We are a specialty manufacturer for discerning individuals, not a hobby shop, so do NOT maintain an inventory! Please submit your order by the 26th of Novenber (10 days): The next day I start cutting, so be on the list of guys who do not compromise. If you’re unsure how I do things, take just a minute & go to www.rogueelementcomponents.com : All will be made clear.
