>Trouble with the bought carbon filter

green_nobody

Well Green got himself a carbon filter as i wanted to try what a bought 60 bucks filter can do compared to my home made ones but now i'm sitting here confused with the filter part and a separate flange piece that isn't fixed to the filter yet - and now is the big question on how to fix this thing...

Any ideas anyone? thought of crazy glue first, but dropped the idea due to all the fine carbon dust on the metal parts.

Hey Green, How are you?
Is the flange the same shape as the filter? What shape is it? Where is the filter going to be mounted? A quick pic will help.

One moment GSR, i try to upload pics here of the piece so everyone can tell what the fuzz is about.

i guess i should try to add a few pictures to point out my trouble...


the first is the filter without the flange and the rest are pics from the flange from different angles - ignore the mesh pot, that belongs to a DWC unit that is in work and not to the filterl

Any ideas anyone?

What about a 2 part epoxy to join them? I would use a rag with some rubbing alcohol to clean both metal parts up and then epoxy it. Automotive parts places have epoxies to join metal to metal perhaps you can try to get some there.
peace,

that might work... and epoxy glues i have, just the question if i have a special metal type too, thanks for the great idea

hey, if anyone else got some other ideas on how to fix this shot it off!

*goes and checks what kinds of glue are left...*

In the first pic, does the ring pop off or have screws to remove it?

Im thinking the loose piece is sitting correctly in the second pic and just needs to be "installed" under the outer ring. it would then provide a lip to attach ducting. Of course not seeing the whole thing clearly doesnt help.

as a cartridge for a cannister, which you do not have and as a stand alone type of filter. the flange would be to attach a hose

Quickest and easiest no mess. Use self tapping #8 tech screws. Easy to install and easy to remove. if leakage is an issue you can fab a gasket from rubber sheet or even cardboard or form a gasket silicon stuff.. Put the flat of the flange atop the filter and screw it together.

Hope this helps.

no screws, no threating, noting to remove the top of the filter to place it on the inside as far as i can see...

i will check once more as this makes the most sense to me right now if this flange would fit but as said - can't see where to open it...
