Mk1 GT Air Filter Pipes

Recommended Posts

Please can anyone say where the breather pipe on the air cleaner case goes ?

Mine has a K & N and am.putting the standard one back on.

 

Also, did a 1966 Aeroflow GT have a black air cleaner case or a silver one ?

 

Many thanks.

OK many thanks. Only seen silver on cars but have bought a black one !

 

There is an outlet for a breather so just ignore it I guess. The 1200 looks like it has an engine breather via a filter to the air box. Mine just has a pipe to exit into air !!

On the original pics from Ford they are black but probably later people changed to silver like the Mk2.

i have seen both black and silver and as Keith already said on many press/brochure pics they are black. on my 4 MK1 GTs i have/ had over the years, they were all silver. my 42tsd km GT looks rather untouched and it has silver as well. if we are talking the former lhd grey GT from France (vin part is EG which is production date Aug 65), i guess it should be silver as well, but maybe this was just for export versions??? all in all, i think you can do nothing wrong with either silver or black, depending what you prefer.

My pre airflow 63 GT is silver and it's staying silver.

The silver finish was often hammer-tone paint, like the cleaner box on the Mk1 1500. And the oil filler cap could be black, or silver hammer-tone, too. I've never seen plain silver on the cap.
