There's a link on my site to Performance International who stocks all the
K&N products. They were very helpful, knowledgeable and promptly responded
to email............ at least 2 years ago they did. Their prices beat all of
the LBC vendors too. They might be able to help you out.

Steve (and list),
Most K&N catalogs I have seen (in North America) have a listing for the TR6.
It is part number E-2540. I'm surprised K&N gave a different part number.
This is the filter the NA vendors like TRF, Moss et al sell. I ordered a
pair of these from TRF some time back and found they do not properly fit the
air cleaner housing as they are too tall. Upon comparing with my old Fram
elements I found the K&Ns were 2-3/16" tall whereas the Frams were 2"
exactly. When I tried to tighten the air cleaner housing to the carbs I
found that it would not seal completely. The elements were getting
compressed and distorted but still there was a slight gap in the housing. I
sent them back to TRF after informing them of my problem (no problem on
their part, they took them back and issued prompt credit). I think the
filter they recommended which is 2-1/4" tall will also be to tall to fit the
stock housing.
I then searched the K&N catalog for a filter which would be better match.
(The catalog is nice in that they have the filters sorted in several ways,
one of which was by dimensions, so this task was pretty easy). I found the
E-3360 is the closest match. Dimensions are 7" od x 5-3/16" id x 2" tall.
Although I have ordered a pair from a local vendor, they are not a common
size and have not arrived yet. But I think they will be the right fit. They
have a larger ID than the Frams but that should not matter.
Note: the above assumes the stock filter housing is desired.
