I'm still thinking of putting paper air filters on my TR3. I have found some Baldwin air filters that are quite small but that I think would work on a TR3. See pictures below. I would have to fabricate some front and rear plates to hold the filters. I measured the old steel mesh air breathers and I counted 8 inlets around the filter, each being 1 inch x 1-1/2 inch, which gives an inlet surface area of 12 square inches. The Baldwin filters have a paper inlet that is 3/4 inch wide and the circumference is 16 inches which gives 12 square inches of inlet surface area also. My question then is...would I get as much air flow with 12 square inches of paper air filter as with 12 square inches of the stock steel mesh filter? Thanks!

Bob
