MG Midget and Sprite Technical - uprated original air filter for 1500

OK the bling air filters (posted a while back) I constructed for the show and shines look great but actually reduce HP at operating temp because of the hot air being ingested. Hmmm, what about increasing the diameter of the standard cold air tubes by 50% OK see attached pic, Dia now 50mm ID Keep you posted as to results
Cheers
PS silver grey powder coat looks fabulous only cost $50

Prop and the Blackhole Midget

Looks really, really good Rod. My 1500 came sans original casing and some dire bodgework to some old pancake filters. I've hummed and procrastinated over the design of the replacement but have eventually decided to make an insulated air-box (double-skinned with insulation between) with a 60mm diameter inlet to a remote filter. Inside the box will be stubby or short ram pipes.
