Which air cleaner is correct for a Mk2 RS2000? Is it the blue plastic or the black plastic?
 
Cheers, Craig.

My 1980 Mk2 RS came with the blue steel type, should be the same as the GL and other two litres............

Depends on the decade. The 80's had side drafts with trumpets, 90's had redline on a DFAV40 (much more sensible) 00's nothing because it was parked up in the shed or whatever you could find to fit, and now factory standard metal blue.

Thanks guys, I didn't even think about the steel blue one. What were the black plastic housing used in?
 
So, because I am living in this decade it looks like I need a factory standard metal blue air filter housing. Anyone have a spare they want to part with?

Thanks Gareth, good to know. All these years I thought the 2L Escorts had a blue plastic air cleaner.

Thanks Glenn, I'll be in touch.

Often the metal air cleaner's were replaced with the plastic version. The metal air cleaner base cracks/ed adjacent to the carby hole due to the engine vibration and metal fatigue.

My 2L Escort came with a plastic one, as did many others.

Owned since new,  '79 RS2000 - blue metal one  is the original fitment.  But the base does crack as mentioned above.
