I have one of those on my car. It is for the 1 1/4" carbs and was made
by K&N Europe. They even have built in sub stacks on the backing plate.
On the minus side, they are no longer made, K&N may or may not be able
to match the filter element. They use a SAE hex key screw instead of
the standard bolt to attach to the carbs ( might want to check if they
are included as they could be hard to find and a standard bolt will not
work.) The studs that hold the plates together have SAE threads on the
back plate side and you need a 10mm wrench for the acorn nuts that hold
the outer plate on. These break real easy and are also NLA. I had to
have new ones machined with threads for 1/4" acorn nuts. You might see
a difference with the sub stacks on a dyno, but don't expect to feel any
great power gain. On the plus side it is a K&N filter, and looks really
sharp. I think I paid $85 for mine and when last seen in the usual
suspects catalogs they were around $150. They came marked either SPRITE
or MIDGET.
