Thomas:
If this is the K & N cone type filter it fits in most installations.
Once in a while the tolerances in the engine mountings may stack up
enough for it to rub. Many late MGBs had flat sheet metal spacers under
one or the other engine mount to adjust for variations in shell
construction. These are often left out when the engine is removed, or
new mounts installed. Using one of these spacers under the LH motor
mount is usually all that is required to get the K & N filters to clear.

Subject: Air filter
I changed my 1980 MGB to SU AUD 135". The rear filter next to the
power brake is rubbing the cone filter. I have been told that this
is the correct filter by two persons. I have done everything I could
to keep it from touching the brake. The engine mount seem to be
good. Has anyone solved this problem? The cone gives good air but I
don't like the two rubbing.
