Location: Omaha, NE		How do I clean the original air cleaner element for my 1956 Dodge D500? It has a fabric mesh holding it together that is very fragile and coming apart. I'm afraid it will disintegrate if I attempt to clean it with gas or lacquer thinner. Are they available NOS or otherwise?
Thanks,
Doug Ruffner

Do not use gas, way too flammable. The old timers soaked them in kerosene. But spray brake cleaner will work better and faster. I found a modern dry cartridge that would fit and got a 12" lid for my 56 Plym.
