MG TD TF 1500 - TD air filter

Hi, I'm trying to help out a Pal of mine who is finishing off a concourse standard TD rebuild. He is missing the "oil bath/air filter" unit. He has the manifold but not the filter itself. Does anybody remanufacture these or has anyone got one that could be restored to "as new" condition. Oh. the car will be for sale if anyone is interested in UK. Any help or advice appreciated.

Hello Keith,

I think Brown & Gammons do have a repro in their programme.

On the yearly Dutch MG-fair last sunday i've seen one, I suppose a original one which I can try to locate
for you.
I don't know if it is still for sale though, but I can try.

Octagonial Greetings

Keith,

I managed to buy a TD filter at the MG Silverstone event last summer. It cost me about £50

There were a number of repros for sale but they don't appear to have the wording pressed out in the lid. If your pal is looking for a concours rebuild the lettering is essential. Thousands of TDs had their filters replaced with pancake ones in the 1960s and original ones are now scarce. Owners know this and look for the lettering. I would try the major autojumbles this year - would would probably be lucky.

Oh - some other info - the filters are not exclusive to a TD I believe Aston Martin DB2/3 and some Hillman Minx cars used the same one.

Cheers

As the owner of an AM DB2, I think I can say that the DB2, DB2/4 MK 1 & 11 were never fitted with this air filter as standard. If they were, they would not be cheap. The next in the series, the DB MK 111, I am not sure about, but seems unlikely.

I need one also, with the lettering

Hi,
Thanks to those who have responded so far. Peter, with a bit of luck, you will find one Stateside and I will get one either in UK or Europe. There seems to be a wide price range so any other offers?

Cheers for now.
