Who makes these K&N type air filters for Webber carburators other than K&N?
These are off my 40's (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i185.photobucket.com-8791-1308177498.1.jpg) |

K&N...
There are some super duper expensive foam filters. I don't think you can get the better paper filters for the Webers anymore. Weber carb direct has some cheaper K&Nish filters. I don't know that they will be any better then the name brand though. Zach |

I know there are some ITG/Pipercross filters, but they are $$$ I'd just clean and oil the K&Ns and use them. |

Yea I'm going to keep this set. I usually have two sets for quick change and clean the dirty ones and have them standing by. I searched K&N but nothing with my dimensions.

I'm assuming from the size (rag label) that these are for a /4.
As long as you keep them oiled you'll have no problems with the K&N's, but if you need more protection you can use pre-filters or UNI filters. http://www.cbperformance.com/catalog.asp?ProductID=558 http://www.cbperformance.com/catalog.asp?ProductID=561 |

Thanks. That's funny, the red bug on the cover of their new catalog is the guy who re-built my motor. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

If you go to the back of a NAPA filter catalog and look through the specification section you should be able to come up with an oval filter for your carbs. I have installed some that look the same onto generator sets and insulation blowers. Ones that fit Onan gen sets come to mind...
On another thought process- K&N offers a lifetime warranty on their filters, and I cashed in on it and got new filters for my 1970 914. The car came with Dellortos on it when bought from the junkyard. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) |
