Kitcat Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 The K & N air filter elements on my newly purchased '97 Caterham 1700cc Kent Crossflow are shot. The filter material is missing in spots and can not be "recharged". I have been to K & N's site but can't locate anything that seems like it would work. Rocky Mountain Motorsports wants $85 for the air filter and bracket, which seems a bit steep. Any idea what the proper size/part number is for a replacement K & N filter? Thanks, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al N. Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Mike, I don't know what the induction system on your car looks like, but ITG makes some good oiled foam filters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitcat Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 Classic webers with cutout in bonnet for air filters. Two oval size: 4 1/2 x7", 3 1/4" deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

11Budlite Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Mike, a lot of people have gone to the ITG filters, but I wanted to keep the classic K&N filter. I think I got mine here: http://www.aptfast.com/ Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11Budlite Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Hey Mike, don't they have a 1,000,000 mile warranty? Maybe they'll replace them for free!! Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitcat Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 I think the 1M mile warranty only covers the original purchaser. Also I suspect mine were rarely re-oiled in their 10 year history and a little maintenance is also required. Thanks to a post on the se7ens list, I located just what I need at Pegasus & they are on their way. Next week I get it aligned & weighed. Then a tune up & a visit to the chassis dyno to see if I can break 100 hp at the wheels (I am betting mid-90's). First track day is 7/1:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
