Not come across a carb strainer like this before. Can anyone provide info?

Ford part number A9559. Typical in the Zeniths I've rebuilt.

Edit: Ok, the large picture finally loaded. The thumbnail looked like a dirty screen material. Yeah, I'm not familiar with that cloth(?) material.

Yes, the screen material is a fibre based stuff, I've never seen the likes before.

Look in an old Snyder's catalog of perhaps 10-15 years ago and you will see that filter. It was not a great idea and was discontinued.

"Maybe" that was the so called "MICRO-FILTER" that plugged up easily, with the "harmless" RUST-DUST?
