[TR] Period Modifications to TR6

Allan,
 
If small air cleaners were available, I'm wondering if the car's original  
emissions control system would be able to function properly since I believe 
that  carb vapors were circulated through the original air cleaner to be 
burnt during  running.  I guess the insurance company is okay with added 
performance from  the triple carbs as long as it was period correct even if 
something like  emissions control might be compromised.
 
But, back to your specific question about K&N's being available in  1975, I 
can't remember.  I think I'd contact the K&N folks and ask  them.....there 
should be some record in their files of whether these were being  marketed 
in 1975.  If you hit a snag, see if you can find cheap  after market air 
cleaners that you can fit for photo proof to the insurance  company then swap 
out later.
