[Fot] Spitfire air filters

[TeriAnn J. Wakeman]

Have you thought about itg filters and short stacks?

http://www.itgairfilters.com/raceair.asp

itg makes filters specifically for Spits plus they have a variety of 
shapes & sizes.

I have their dome shaped one on my TR3 with DCOEs.  There is almost no 
space for a filter for the front venturi but the dome itg filter fits.

Air conditioner filters & shop vac filters?  At least check out their 
offerings for Spitfires.  Unless of course your thing is to have vacuum 
cleaner filters on the intake of your carbs & "Mity Vac" written on the 
side ;)
