MG MGB Technical - SU Conversion Air Filters

Can anyone give me info about which air filters I can use on a '75 B converted to twin SU's? This car has the brake booster which leaves almost no room for an air cleaner on the rear carb.

Thanks in advance.

You should be able to use the standard " saucepan " type filters. My car has these and they clear the brake servo alright

You can use either the Stellings and Hellings type filters, Moss # 223-200
Or the K&N conical tapered filters Moss # 222-985.
Either will fit, either without problems or some minor tweaking.

JR,
The only thing you might have to do is switch to other needles for the SU's.
These "open" filters make your mixture weaker and changing to a richer needle make it easier to tune.
