Mk1 GT Air Filter Housing

[AndrewGT 2]

Hi, just bought a standard airflow GT air filter case. Please can someone let me.know or post picture of how lid should be held on? Is it studs and nuts with spacers or long bolts with spacers? Thanks

Also, if anyone has a spare filter element lying about, diameter and height please.

That''s the early version. After December 1963 the lid was held on with two bolts. But the later one has the same arrangement of two crossbars and four nuts spacers and grommets holding it to the long studs on top of the Weber.

Thanks. So 2 x bolts presumably with spacers to prevent lid being bent??

I guess that's it. It also simplifies the lower part of the cleaner, with the two bolts going into threads cut directly into the metal, and no bracket  interrupting the air flow.

Thanks very much.

I've measured the size of the filter I use in my GT air cleaner: inside diameter 18cm, outside diameter 23.5cm, height 5cm. This isn't an original Ford filter, it was an altered Mazda unit, but it fits well.
