That is for a 1.8. Will not fit 1.7

Thanks for the clarification.

I need the same thing, but am in the uk. The 1973 Paper 1.7 filter box is a rare thing to find!!!

There's a couple of aftermarket filters that fit inside it, but good luck finding one!! If this does magically find one in Europe think of me!!

finding the box is not nearly as bad as finding the proper filter for it.

The proper filter is a pain yes. But a K&N 1000 fits perfectly with a little foam gasket.

The K&N E1000 is a darn close fit imo. I know that lots of you won't touch these filters, but it was the best I could find that fits the housing. I used to race Minis and have used these for years so don't have a problem with them, just as long as you keep them oiled they are a great filter.

I don't know how long the old filter had been in there, but it was really clogged up, so the new one has gone in today.

So if anyone wants a new filter then this fits..

I have one, sent you a pm.

Posted by: jacksun Jul 31 2014, 04:10 PM

it was suggested to me that the Purolator classic

A30052 air filter fits the 1.7

I bought two from the local "advance auto'' next day delivery.

I just put it in my 1.7's "air box" and it fits fine.

there is a little bit of back and forth when I shake it.

will that be a problem? if so why?

thanks

There's nothing wrong with K&N air filters, except if you have an FI system with an MAF. An oil film builds up on the delicate thin sensor wire(s) in the MAF and they're a little tricky to clean.

I switched over to AFE dry filters in the Toyota trucks.
