Talk Morgan Forums Thread Like Summary - Air filter recommendations

I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this question as it is probably one for the older supersport guys and girls as they have cut outs in the bonnet for such an issue…

As some of you know, I am the current custodian of my late fathers 4/4 which is running quite a unique set up which I am trying to get reacquainted with after not really having much involvement with the car for a number of years in the mechanical sense.
The throttle body trumpets sit very close to the bonnet and wing, and therefore the options for air filters are very limited. The engine has already sucked in a foam sock, which caused the throttle to stick open, so I am now looking to obtain some sort of clip on wire mesh. However, Jenvey do not supply anything that will fit, so I am looking for alternatives.

My current options are to either fit smaller trumpets, or find something (wire mesh) that will clip onto an 89mm trumpet but with a minimal outer diameter as there is very little room between the edges of the trumpets. Will smaller trumpets have any effect on the air intake or did my dad go OTT with the 89mm’s?

I have attached an image to give some perspective of what I am after.



Any recommendations of either a solution or a supplier will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I used to cut up a pair of ladies tights. May not look pretty but effective and cheap and easy to renew.
