....the foam element is totally gone...but the plastic circular cage remains.
Stubborn screws came off after soaking overnight with PB Blaster & using Large JIS / Phillips bit on Ryobi Impact driver.
Some AN400 Pros on here say this is just to filter out bugs sticks & rocks.
Others say finer dirt & dust.
I think the truth is it should filter but allow good air flow.
This idea is a simple $.97 wire mesh kitchen sink strainer.
Perfect size to go over cage & fit flat around it. Just bore 2 screw holes thru & attach.
If you're of the 'filter it tight camp' then there looks to be room for a thin layer of foam in between mesh & plastic cage.
Some said they were gluing screen door material onto the plastic cage with Elmer's glue and 'its done stayed put' many miles.
Which only goes to show "there's more than one way to skin a cat".
(My cats retreat when they hear me say that...)
