I have a problem sourcing a new air filter for my 1,3 (-73). The "normal" motor factors don't list these any more and the specialist around here says that he can't get hold of any air filters for the 1,3 any more - apparently noone makes them? I also did a quick eBay search and I while I found a few that looked right, they were listed as fitting the 1,3 only from 1978.
Any suggestions?

How about a basic aftermarket filter ? I'm using a "SIMOTA" Mushroom filter on my 1.8. Simply clamps onto the air intake.

If you want an original, I have no idea.

Hey Joe, like the air filters, where do you get them from?

I will try to keep it as original as possible. Will visit my motor factor with the old filter and we'll try to find a close match. But really, surel there must be someone over in the UK with a stockpile of these filters?

if you cant find one you could try collectors car parts heathrow

43/45 Sipson Way Sipson, West drayton, Middlesex UB7 0DW - 020 8897 3774

His shop is amazing - such a variety of stock - where when i have been in there for parts - you have to hunt thru boxes upon boxes of stuff

he has shelves of new old stock items .

I got mine off Trademe, which is like a NZ ebay. But you can get them over there...

The standard air filter for Mk1 & Mk2 Marina 1.3s and 1.8 single carbs is the Unipart GFE 1005 - available from some motor factors and listed currently on EBay. http://stores.ebay.co.uk/blacksofstichi ... =398740919

Also listed for Triumph Dolomite single carb so available via Rimmer Bros - about £5.00.

Yep, I have seen both those ebay listings but in the description it says 1,3 only after 1978?

Yes please!

Found some in the US! British Parts Source in Ohio sent me 2 x GFE 1005 in ORIGINAL BOXES!

Unipart doesn't make these anymore do they? Fram do not make their equivalent CA646 any more.
