Has anyone got a spare air filter box for a 2.8i? I need the part that clips over the air filter... my one is split and has a hole.

Do you not fancy putting in a K & N or im sure tvrcarparts may have what you are looking for plus brakers for 2.8 capri and granadas

Definitely up for changing to K&N but thats just the air filter itself right? The Capri/Granada box looks different, here's an ebay pic....


The Capri ones come up on ebay fairly regularly but Im not sure it will fit to be honest. Have tried a bunch of breakers and online stores without any luck. Hoping someone has a spare lurking around somewhere!

It's got to be off something mass-produced. scratchchin

Try the TVR racers section. One of those guys might have changed their intake system ?

It IS the same as on TVR 280 Wedge, incidentally.

The '78TF' bit identifies the model it was originally used on - '78 being year of introduction.
I'd have thought Mk2 Granada or Capri - the one in the pic above maybe Mk 3 Granada?
