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

[Harold Manifold]

I agree with K&N 56-9247. Fit the filters so they clear and use the old
filter back plate as a template for the holes. The attached drawing should
be the layout but double check.

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.

See pic:



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
