THanks Antoine, I don't have any problem sourcing filters for the AP models. FOr the ZB89 I actually thought I could cut a felt sheet, like the one used in drawers to make them more quiet, is this what you were thinking about as a proper material ? | ||

Great idea ! I just found a vacuum parts store in Montreal, on the web, I just send them an email about filters for the ZB89 Elux,if they don't have any I will go with your suggestion. | ||

I just drilled the rivet to remove the front wheel, it almost looks like it was made by the Flintstones.

Here is the company I found in Montreal, they sell the square filters I need, roughly 5$ a pack of 2, plus shipping I guess. www.johnnyvac.com/en/... | ||

Front wheel fixed with a generic wheel I found at Home Hardware, a bolt I cut at right length, two thin washers inserted between the wheel and the bracket, and a locknut. Approximate cost: 2.50$ I would have preferred a green wheel though, but I'm satisfied with the result and the ease of rolling the machine now. | ||
