Very good bid Snautzer! That is similar but not the parts. Remember, there are two! Try thinking Desert..
BTW, is that the Chino G-10? That could be a really good "original" restoration. I do hope it doesn't get "restored" like the awful ex Yugo ones!

That would be so very sneaky . But i think they are.
Great catch CammerJeff. Here's are the exterior and interior of a Bf109G cowling where the supercharger intake would be with a Trop filter. Exterior has 4 holes for screws and interior are 4 nut plates. Seems to match what engineman posted.

Nice one cammerjeff! Yes, these are an original pair, again from a dump. You don't see them about.
Here is the partslist illustration, the filter elements are half-cylinders on each side of the frame and were a thin fabric in wire mesh , lengthwise pleated for area. The covers were either louvered or a wire mesh. Clam doors at front were just a close fit, not sealed.
Cheers

Well done to all contributors!
Looking at the Bf 109 F partslist, it shows the Trop parts for the Trop filter in the special parts at the end, but the upper cowlings are all shown the same. So, I think the F and G cowlings came with the eight captive nuts and reinforcement from the time the Trop filter was introduced on the F, until some point in G production, possibly with G-14 when there was no need.

John Vasco perhaps of intrest.
7th October 1940
6./ZG26 Messerschmitt Bf110C-7, 3U+JP, W. Nr. 3418. Shot down by F/L M.L. Robinson of No.609 Squadron during escort sortie for II./KG51 attack on Yeovil and crashed at Kingston Russell Dairy Farm, Long Bredy, 7 miles south-west of Dorchester, 4.00 p.m. Possibly also that attacked by F/L F.J. Howell. Pilot Oberfeldwebel Karl Herzog and Bordfunker Obergefreiter Herbert Schilling both killed.
 
Hello John, it came from Perry Adams, now he's moved abroad. The other is in aunt Philipa's she'd.
 
Yes, Philippa Hodgkiss, pursuer of crashed German bombers, having been their target in 1940s Birmingham.
