Ok ok
In period not original. Let's spark up the way back machine and report an objection to the real McCoy AC housing with it's paper filter that became NLA and it's inability to flow.
Here's a quote from an octogenarian about 7 or so years ago. He had bought the car new and was up in Ventura at the British car show in the marina. I approached him he had a very nice modified car another air cleaner.
I was busy pitching air cleaners in the stock stamped steel ....
When I made the pitch to him he said in a you young whippersnapper tone...
" Why that's more than I paid for the whole GD car," I swallowed my pride and thanked him very much for his attention and stepped away slowly.
But back to the original cast aluminum one. I once looked at Summit to try to find a air filter for a very similar unit I had and I said to myself wow that's a lot to pay he was over 30 bucks or 40 bucks for a paper one for some unknown reason. Back then that was the price of a K& N so I made my own with sheet air filter foam from the local motorcycle outfitters. I can recall at least 3 different manufacturers of this Tiger scripted LAT valve cover looking
part. If one has Buddy Bar cast in it now that'd be interesting.
