I must take umbrage at referring to one of the world's best engines as a "lump."
Damn nice job on the duel filters though!

If you mean the Racors, I lurked eBay for a year and got it new about half price off what the usual suspects sell them for. Still expensive, but we considered it a safety issue since we only have one engine now.

Hard to do in Maine ( Cold , but its a Damp Cold) but the annual Dania Flea market frequently has the little 900's and bigger 1000's there for the picking.

Exact cost? $600 for the Racors, about $25 for the valves and $35 for the filter board. I had the hose, bolts, screws and hose clips in my "hoard" and I reused the labels and a few other parts.
