K&N air filter

Post by 1970 cortina GT »

Can anyone out there tell me where I can get hold of a K&N air filter for my 1970 MK11 Cortina 1600GT. I believe that t has the standard 32 DFM Weber twin choke and I also believe that the correct part number is 56-9058 however according to K&N this part is discontinued. Anyone?

you may have to modify the base plate but as long as the mounting holes align.

Funny enough, thats the one I ordered from K&N direct, advertised to fit 1970 MK3, MK4 and MK5 1600GT ! And I just returned it because the mounting holes didn't line up. Thought about modifying it but thought I would try and get the correct one.
