I had 3 filters on my MkII BT7 and hated anything to do with them. On mine – I don’t know about anyone elses’s – the backplate was attached to the carb by a bolt coming through from the back/engine and fixed by a nut and washers. I put a blob of plastic metal on each bolt head and tightened them up without the filters being in situ. That at least kept the bolts secure and in line on the carbs freeing up a hand and obviating the need to have to get in behind the filters. Worked OK so long as one was careful.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Simon<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> Healeys [mailto:healeys-bounces@autox.team.net] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Tim Davis BN7<br><b>Sent:</b> Sunday, October 4, 2015 0:45<br><b>To:</b> Mike<br><b>Cc:</b> Healey List<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Healeys] air cleaners<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>These cars were not made to be easy to work on<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='color:black'><hr size=2 width="100%" align=center id=zwchr></span></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'>From: </span></b><span style='font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'>"Mike" <<a href="mailto:phoenix722@comcast.net">phoenix722@comcast.net</a>><br><b>To: </b>"Healey List" <<a href="mailto:healeys@autox.team.net">healeys@autox.team.net</a>><br><b>Sent: </b>Saturday, October 3, 2015 4:51:38 PM<br><b>Subject: </b>[Healeys] air cleaners<o:p></o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>I now have a BJ8 with HD8 carbs.
