Unused FRAM Titanium FS2

[OVERKILL]

@Rod Knock was generous enough to send me 5x FS2 filters (that @Rand brought up when he came to tour Bruce) but unfortunately one of them got a major dent in it in transit. So, I decided to C&P it.

Spoiler: It looks identical to the XG2 with the exception of the baseplate with the larger, teardrop shaped, holes.

Like with the XG2, you can split the two obvious layers into another two less obvious layers:

Looks good. Not wire backed but serviceable filter nonetheless.

It's wire backed, might want to look again

Ri’h! I see it in 8th photo now

Looks good! That dent in the can is how every filter I ordered from Amazon looked until I stopped ordering them there.

Don't forget about the 7th and 9th photo! LOL

Thank you, I may have to buy one of these.. .

Better verify it's wire backed by looking through the center tube holes before buying if wire backed media is what you're after.

Thank you, I may have to buy one of these.. .

All the ones I saw locally were.. but definitely a good idea its very easy to see through the center tube holes with a small flashlight(maybe needed)

@OVERKILL
I think you could have dry iced that dent out...

Got a 4967 model on the shelf for the John Deere rider for the next change, good to see the insides before hand. Thank you for the show & tell.

Thanks for all involved & am particularly liking the "Media Layers" presentation. These are solid filters & after seeing my first torn Fram Endurance the other day gives me more reason to appreciate "The good old days". It's like my old John Deere made with metal everything & then the newer one made with a plastic hood. Yep, the plastic hood is all busted up looking ghetto.

Sure it was the wire backed Endurance and instead the non-wire backed Ultra?

 

[ZeeOSix]

@OVERKILL ... did you try to separate the glued seam? ... results? Some of the Ultras/Titaniums like the 7317 have a metal crimped seam.

Let me go dig to get that information. I'll be back in a moment.

You're right! It was the Non-Wire backed Ultra & NOT the Endurance.

Torn Non-Wire Backed Ultra

Wow look at those voluptuous pleats.

It was metal crimped, see pic #6, that's the metal piece before being removed, the following pic is with it removed.

The lighting was not good, looked like a regular pleat. Really have to look hard. The piece in the glue sort of gives a clue it's metal.

Yeah, I normally do them in a spot with better lighting, but it was unavailable that day unfortunately.
