A12 Air Cleaner

[gene69rr]

I have a fiberglass A12 air cleaner, I went with fiberglass due to lower cost. The repo is better if you can afford them.
What I would like to know is what size are the corner drains and what size are the hoses that connect to the corner drains.

we've got a few A12 guys here, i know Ray is on the road, but someone should chime in.

I know there are a couple of places that make those corner drains, but they are way out of my price range, so I will have to make them myself.
I would need to know what size the 90 degree drains are.
Are help or advice would be appreciated.

I am pretty sure it is 5/8 heater hose coming off the drains. I made my own and attached them to the fiberglass base. I used 1/2 conduit to make the 90 degree drains. I was able to make templates for the drains from an original piece.

This is correct. 1/2 inch hard lines and 5/8 hoses.

mine has 1/2' ID tubing & IIRC 5/8" hose fits loose, but the base on mine is a non-fresh air 70 style base, I couldn't afford the real A12 base at the time, though of getting a fiberglass one , how do you like it ??, does it fit decent ?? & not droop/warp with engine heat ?? etc.

The fiberglass air cleaner base came in today. Its made by Hybrid Fiberglass Solutions (832) 524-7041. I like it a lot, it feels strong. It is very well made. It will be awhile before I can put it on my running engine. With shipping it came to $200 . I will have to make my own drains. And buy the lid, air filter and rubber seal. I don't plan on driving in the rain, the drains are mainly for looks.

I have a fiberglass lid hanging in the garage. It has a hole drilled in the center, but otherwise OK if you'd be interested.
