[Healeys] K&N air filters for an early 3000.

[Bluehealey]

Team.

It worked for me.

K&N Filters Part #56-9247 has a plain (undrilled) mounting plate. The holes can then be drilled to suit the carbs and miss the shroud. The rear filter on Bluehealey is extra low to clear the gas strut, but doesn’t need to be if using a prop rod.

The filters are 6” diameter and 2¼“ depth.

Whilst on the tools, captive (stainless) nuts can be welded on the inside of the mounting plate and also a short stub tube to take the breather.

Good luck.

They will not fit between the front carb and the shroud.

 

You can install the 1.75 Tapered filters 222-995 for the MGB. Then turn the front one upside down and drill two holes in the plate for the breather holes.

Living in a dusty area (dirt roads), I am thinking about replacing stock air filters with K&N units. 

 

Moss has three possible filters for the 1.75 in., twin-carb, ’59 3000.  They vary in depth with two pancake units of 1¾ in. deep and 3 in. deep and one tapered 2 1/5 in. deep.

 

K&N recommends 56-9247 that is a pancake being 2 in. deep and 6 in. diameter.

 

I would appreciate any input regarding what has worked well for folks and what to avoid.  Thanks, Bill
