Hi,
I've been trying to figure out what happened to AKT the Australian supplier of replacement filters for older cars. They used to operate out of Dandenong and I had one on the valiant for ages.
Now I wanted one for the 4WD and could only find the Trasko... while almost identical is much smaller (less carrying capacity).
Both these filters use what are basically toilet rolls... although Trasko insist they're woven filters.
However the filtration on both of them is excellent (1/10 micron)... just that I would prefer a full sized filter for the cars that can take such a filter.
Anyone else remember AKT in Dandenong?
Perhaps the AKT owners are browsing this forum?
I also have a Franz bypass oil filter... which I've never fitted (sold the valiant before I ended up fitting it)... and also realised that the spin on aftermarket filters were doing as good a job as the bypass was likely to do.
Alternatively if anyone else knows of a company that makes a similar dunny roll filter I'd be interested in knowing about it.
NB. I've used these filters for around 2,000,000kms in lots of cars.
