Hi Peter:
Thanks for taking the time to send your info. I've gotten paper filters
from some of the suppliers that were just a tad too tall. Ended up crushing
a couple before settling on TRF supplied units.
I've looked at the K & N website and taken some measurements. My local NAPA
store is pretty good about ordering. I'll check with them first.
Thanks a lot!
