Downton air filter box for twin HS4 ?

[almondgreen]

Did Downton sell an airfilterbox for twin HS4 carbs?
I found a test from Motor week in 1971.
There is a 1275GT with hs4s and a box with a Downton badge on it.

No they modified the standard 1 1/4 filterbox to fit. I did the same on my Brothers MK3 S. I have described how to do this many times before.

After better looking. I think it is possible that it is a modified standard box, but it is fitted in a different way, as on your brothers car.
They did not use the elbow pieces, it is bolted direct to the carbs.
I would load up a picture, but have some PC problems.
If anyone will load it up, send me a email adress and the pic will come...

Andreas, it's the set up that Downton (Steve Harris) did on 'Tiger Tim' ie : RAM 777H, with the box bolted direct to the back of the carb bodies.

Anyone know how they fixed the cover on?

The normal filter(s) with the road kits eg. "Downton Touring Conversion" circa 1971, were a pair of pancake filters.
