I was cleaning my oil bath air cleaner today and was thinking of putting it back on the truck. I have been using a very small paper air cleaner/filter for quite some time now. Looking at the oil bath air cleaner I am wondering just how much of the fiberous part of it there is suppose to be?
Mine seems to be kind of brittle and more like horse hair then the copper gause the manual speaks about on page 6m-48 of the 57chevy truck shop manual.
I picked the cleaner up at a swap meet in TX about 20 years ago. Looks about right. But I remember having some of the fiber come out when I cleaned it last time.
Here are some pictures:

Any source for the cork gasket that sits between the two pieces?
