PS-I have the same coat.

Great, Ill get around to making a bracket. Dont really have the money for a replacement filter though.

also, this jacket is the best. Keeps me warm and cozy. Just my legs get a lil cold.

did a quick search, this filter seems to filter down to 30 microns. Any idea what the stock one does?

Prepare yourself, im about to annoyingly drone on for this post Big Grin

Racor generally does everything in 3 micron ratings. 2, 10, and 30. (unless its a big FBO or recirculation product or whatnot for fuel dispensers or ships, irrelevant here though)

The 3 micron ratings are color and letter coded. 2 micron will usually have an "S" somewhere in the part number and have burgundy coloring. For example, 2020SM.
10 micron will usually have a T in the part number with blue coloring. 2020TM.
30 micron will usually have a P in the part number, and the coloring is usually red. 2020PM.

What you have there LOOKS like an old Racor 400 series filter head, with a wix filter screwed onto it. However, does it say RACOR anywhere on the head itself? self priming heads are not especially rare. Could be something else. My Racor catalog is circa 2010, but you have 4 filter options if its a Racor head. (If you want 2micron) R45S, R60S, R90S, and R120S. The number is the flow rate, the letter is the micron. lower number usually means a smaller filter.

Since its a wix filter though, my Racor catalog gives these numbers as cross reference for that part number, any of these should be able to replace your current filter and at least have the same threads, some will take the bottom clear bowl, some will be solid metal. The threads are 1-14 UNS.
