MG MGB Technical - Two quick questions:K&N; bushings


Have 1979 b Le with Twin SU carbs conversion, will the 1 3/4 flat K&N filters fit or must I use the tapered (cone shape) ones? Second; I want to rebush the front end
should I use V8 or the new Poly-flex style worth it ?

thanks Kevin

Kevin,
The tapered K&Nīs are the ones to use. 1 3/4" wont fit since the rear filter will hit the brakebooster. I used pancake 1" filters before I bought my tapered filters. I had great problems with airflow and pancake filters. Canīt help you on bushings. I fitted the V8 type and they are fine. Lowered the front with AHT 21 springs and fitted lower bumpstops which work out fine.
