Please forgive me if I am asking a question that's already been asked and answered but I didn't see a "search this forum" option.
I seem to recall back in the mid-60s that my mechanic would take off my air cleaners and soak them in some sort of solvent and then blow them out with his air hose and that cleaned them. There wasn't a disposable paper filter. Is that still the case today? I took one of mine off and it looks like some metallic material inside so I think they are still the same as yesteryear. If so, how should I clean them or are they just disposable as an entire unit after X-amount of miles? They are on sale now at The Roadster Factory so should I buy a new pair or can I clean my existing pair? Mine have the nice crinkled black paint finish on them so I'd hate to throw them away as they look new. Suggestions? Thanks.
