Does anyone know what is the biggest height K&N air filter you can fit on a Fiat 124 spider to suit weber IDF (downdraught) carburettors ? My bonnet has speed 'lumps' like a BS1/CSA not early AS.
Thanks for your input.

Hello Grant,
There is nothing mentioned on the K&N-site for the 124 spider, but you can always measure your carburettor-inlet and the free space you have around.
Then go to this page and find a filter that suits your needs:

Let us know what you find!

hello everybody,
i was also thinking about the height of the filters. i used meanwhile two versions: sprintfilter from italy and itg from england, see attached pictures - i think that is the maximum to use without problems with the bonnet. the height of the sprintfilter was 65mm, i think and the height of the itg-filter was 90mm (i can measure it again, when someone is interested).

Thanks webchef,i did the same as you did.I was wanting to buy the filters in adavance of fitting the carbs.
Sebastian,Your pics are what i was looking for.I am wanting the tallest K&N filters,naturally.I have read 65 mm was the height and thats where i will start.Guy Crofts book has a pic with K&Ns that look taller.If taller than 65mm is possible i will post my findings.Many thanks,Grant Gauld
