[Healeys] breather for K&N air filter

[Bob Spidell]

Try http://www.aptfast.com and click on 'K&N Filters' on the left navbar 
and scroll down.

Years ago, the owner of APT (forget his name) agreed to create a set for 
Healey HD8s.  He made a one-off backplate for the front carb that 
lowered the filter so it just fit under the shroud.  The deal was I 
would test the fit and round up some buyers--had a dozen or more people 
from this list--and he would do a production run.   I wasn't looking to 
profit--just wanted a set for myself.   But, alas, he had some personal 
problems--wife injured in a car crash I heard--and eventually quit 
responding to my inquiries.
