[Spits] Early Spitty air cleaners

Bob,
You might consider what I did on my Mk1 when I had twin SUs on it.  I
fabricated a cold air box that mounts over both carbs and fed air into it
through flexible ducts at the front.  They were routed to a round air
cleaner that I made up in front of the radiator.

There are photos at this site:

Clark,
  Well it looks like I have some learnin to do about
Spitfires.  I thought the 1 1/4' where from the euro
model, I stand corrected.  I am looking for the single
oval type of housing depicted in the VB catalogue
suitable for MK 1,2,3, it has 2 small round air
cleaners inside of it.  So what I meant to say is I
need the entire housing as I have nothing, nadda, zip,
zilch.  The only reason is I just like the looks of
this set up better then the cheap chromy things and
and don't like the cost of the K&Ns..
Thanks, Bob
