In a pinch,
you can use Crosland filters for SU's. The 2000 will take a pair of
filters for the H6, also found on Volvo 122's and many Jags. I'm not
sure about the 1600- I think the MGB filters may fit, but I don't know
what the designation those carbs had.
The Croslands look cool, and take up less room- they also flow less
air, but on a stock motor, the filter isn't that much of a
restriction... or just go to a K&N and be dont with it!
