Re: Air Filter / Air Filter Housing
If you were Charlie Manchester I'd say just a wire grill to stop stones and small animals from being ingested...
If you were Charlie Kalahari then an expensive K&N would be required...
But for London any filter would probably suit...

Not a bearing, no actual contact ( unless you have wear) more like a screw oil pump directing any oil back to the sump.

You could try Vaseline on one part and a bead of black silicone sealant on the other....don't tighten it till it's gone off.
Works for me..
