I want to change from the wire mesh air filter in my 1953 Silver Wraith BLW66 to a paper one. Could anyone help with a part number please. approx size is 160mm dia ID is approx 105mm and width is 85mm Thanks | ||

Trevor, I don't know if those dimensions are the same as on a 4.25 Mk VI. If so K & N do an element which fits neatly in place of the wire mesh and will not only provide vastly better filtration that just about any other paper element but is unlikely ever to need replacing. You may be able to use the measurements to obtain a match on the K & N website. (Message approved by david_gore) | ||

ITG filters do a foam assembly for S1. Pergaps they may be able to help. | ||

in my search for alternate filers, I founf that a Wix 46078 air filter will fit for our assemblies if you are willing to give up the original metal cage. It has a built in mesh around the paper fiter medium which serves to prevent collapse. The ones I ordered from Fleetsales.com here in the us have a red "rubber" ring at each end...but at least the filter itself is not pink. | ||

Try Fram CA662PL or Spectre #4806. The Fram is a close fit in the orifice. (Message approved by david_gore) | ||

I don't know how much room for manoeuvre you have but it's possible that K & N filter numbers E-3270 ( OD-161.925mm; ID-127mm; H-82.55mm) or E-2430 (OD-152.4mm; ID-107.95mm; H- 82.55mm) might work. (Message approved by david_gore) | ||

Looks like it's problem solved Flexolite are offering a suitable one for £59 that is washable and black in colour. Found this on the KDA 132 site in an article by Norman Geeson Thanks to all for their suggestions | ||

Trevor these are the same as they supplied for my S1. I have been using one for 10+ years, easy to clean, and effective and in my opinion well worth the cost. | ||

Thanks Mark That sounds very good  | ||

Thanks Mark I had a look at this but it seems too big. The wire gauze on my car measures 160mm OD 105mm ID 90mm Wide | ||

Trevor, this may "fit" by compressing the rubber seal against the silencer and endplate (assuming it is the same principle as the S1) but I cannot see that it will be aesthetically acceptable. Mark | ||

The Fram-europe site suggests that part, or at least the number, is obsolete. (Message approved by david_gore) | ||

On the other hand the same website lists a Rolls-Royce 6.0L Flying Spur as a model! (Message approved by david_gore) | ||

Actually it is the same filter, originally made for Atlas Copco compressors, along with the Spectre #4806 mentioned above. The "extra" dimension is in the silicone edge seals that give it increased sealing around the edges to prevent side leakage. The silicone is squeezed when you push it in as I have done with my cars.
