I have seen grey stove enamelled Air Filter Boxes for the std carbs that looked new. Are they still for sale?

If you get one, buy the groove seal from eBay… soft sponge cord 4mm or 5mm diameter.
other seals being sold were solid rubber & don’t work.
I had mine refinished in satin chrome…. Separated the vacuum actuator, refitted the actuator with rivnuts & m4 button head screws.Last edited by jbuckl; 14 January 2023, 11:05.

Tony White got many, choose the best one and refurb it yourself. It is very easy to sand one down, primer and paint. If you want have it chromed. I got a couple that I bought back to almost new.......I am not very good at refurbing and spraying, but such a small object can be done within the day, just paint drying time takes time.
Unless of course you sneak one into the oven without swmbo knowing

A friend I met after 25 years now runs an Alloy refurb garage. He is doing quite well at the low rates he charges. Got my alloys refurbed and colour changed by him after I kerbed one of them by swerving and hitting the kerb. Some woman pulled out from a side street on Southall Broadway! Brand new AMG alloy kerbed badly.
I was asking him to powder coat some Stag parts, now may include Air Filter Boxes.
