Air filter Blues...
Does anyone know who carries or sells the reusable oval air filters for the oval Cobra style air cleaner? I tried K&N but they were all too small. My housing needs a filter that's 20 1/2" by 9 3/4" with a hieght of 1 3/4".
I have the single use one from Tony Branda but I would very much like one that can be cleaned and used again. Bernie Knight Mt. Gambier South Australia |
Bernie,
Unifilter over here in NSW should be able to make any shape you like. I will be there in next week or two to have a "track day"filter made up for my cold air intake.If I can assist let me know. They have a website so a search should find them. Sounds like your travels are going well. Hope to catch up at te Nationals. Phil:D |

Thanks for the info. I check the site to see what they can do. I tried the K + N site but they don't have the size I want to suit that air cleaner top and base. As part of the engine rebuild I have removed the K + N top filter and round filter, along with the Victor Jnr. and big Holley. Will check Unifilters site, Thanks Mate Bernie Yes travels going |

Thanks Curtis, %/ Just checked this site out. It did not appear when I searched the K+N original site a few days ago for re usable filters. I'm just wondering, am I reading that this filter you found is a replaceable filter or one that replaces the existing filter for life - and it's a washable and can be re used multiple times. I want the washable type. Similiar to ones in my gallery. Thanks again, I will try and email them to get some tech. assistance or advice. Bernie |
Bernie,
Yes it is wash n ware....wash n oil. I have the 3" tall one, E-1963. They say they are a "life time filter". |
After much deliberation I have replace the 14x3 round K&N with a 14X4 Wix paper filter. I think the paper filter will remove more fine particles than the K&N although it is not renewable and must be replaced when needed. I believe the additional height will offset any benefit of lower restriction the K&N may provide.

Thanks for your help here. I'm replacing the K + N filter system I currently have, with the new oval filter base/top in the traditional logo style. I removed the Victor Jnr and replaced it with a Edelbrock Performer which allows the oval cleaner to go on. This photo was taken some time ago prior to painting the Cobra. http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...30P2080010.JPG I did get a pack of filters from Tony De Branda, but felt it may be easier to use the re usable. Thanks again, I will follow up the leads. Bernie |
This is similiar to the new look engine
Photo ex Art Burt.. http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...010258-med.jpg The new rocker covers and oval air cleaner. I have the same filter - a box of - so will try for the disposable type. |
Bernie,
Are you sure that the filter is all that you replaced? That new look is great. I have the same type filter as you have on the new one, except mine is on a single carb. and is the black crinkle finish one. I use a billit one with a K&N when I plan to run the car hard. But for showing the long one gets far more attention as they think I have dual carbs. :) Ron ;) |
I have an older EM with 427 FE with inline dual fours.Tunnel wedge intake doesn't leave much clearence and would like to take adsvantage of the scoop.Two S&H don't pass much air.I just saw the new Accel Kool Street System in the new Summit catalog.Not enough detail. Still looking for a low air cleaner that would let some air in from above.
What ever is gained from dual fours and a tall intake is lost with the two S&H air ceaners. I'm still looking for a way. |

I just bought some Accel products, and there is a ton of info on their web site (Mr Gasket). They have a Tech section with FAQ's, E-mail questions and a tel number. http://www.koolblue.com/AskTechFormM...spx?brandId=11 |
Thanks again all for the links and the information.
