I have three oil bath air cleaners taken off original Y-Types (YA & YT) and they are deeper than the one for sale. That may be the correct item for TD, but I believe the export model on Y-Types were twice as deep. If my SONY digital camera had not died in under two years, I could send you a photo to show the difference. But maybe someone else can also check.

You are right the manifold on Ebay is off an export Y Saloon but the Air Filter is most definately not. The export Y and all YT air filters were much deeper.
David Pelham

To confirm, you can consult "MG Saloon Cars" by Clausager, on Page 103 is a photo of a Y-chassis with an export air cleaner, and another on page 112. Game Over.

In addition to above, the mystery appears to be solved on page 119 of "Let there be Y's" by D.R. Lawrence. There's a picture of a "low" export filter with the remark "the silencer chamber is missing". The advertised filter seems incomplete?
Tony, as a reward for giving the correct answer, will you now send me one of your export filters? (including the horizontal intake, of course!)
willem van der Veer

Happy to send you the alloy inlet pipe for YA, as I prefer my Y's with twin carbs (original or not),but the filters are a tad rare over here, and I'd rather finish my car before dispersal of my "spares". I will contact you if one becomes available. Are you needing one or just a spare?

Tony Slattery

Tony, thank you very much for your generosity, but I was joking. My Y5888 has a good "home"filter. When I modify it, it will be with two carbs.
