Mark, bought the 1800 filter box off Dave yesterday (thanks again Dave) and whilst looking at the mountings Dave pointed out that they were "quantum parts" not the ford fittings, are yours the correct ones? i've just finished fitting the airbox,( its cold out there) and it fitted without any drama. Regards Bill.
