I am doing the same thing: SU's on the British Intake manifold with HS4's
modified for 0 degree use. From what I have gathered, you can use 1 3/4" K&N's
but you have to modify the backing plates to move the hole for the carb down
(air filter moves up towards the bonnet).
For pictures and detailed how-to see:

you can see in his pictures that the K&N's are mounted off center.
I have also considered trying the cone type K&N's to see if they would clear.

No
But I think APT does a K&N filter that has an offset centre for the Mini -
would expect that the same approach is a solution worth investigating. It is
also possible to have the dashpot height reduced if you are really desperate.

the filters. If you folks have them installed, is there a special filter
set I need to purchase, or will a set of round K&N filters do the job
without hitting the bonnet?
