Hey,
Repco should be able to get Ramflo filters. I can chase it up tomorrow if you like! Possibly a stupid question I know but how many filters are you after? And it's for 40mm webers?
Cheers

Thanks for the positive feedback guys. It feels good now that it's a car once again, rather than a big collection of parts. quote:

The car looks great out in the sunshine Timmeh... a real credit to you! Once its sitting a bit lower will look even better. Any plans to fit the RS2000 side decals or stripes?
Stripes, no, but side decals, possibly. Unsure, have to wait for a pair to come up on eBay at the right price, they seem to ask alot of money for a sticker. The K+N setup I priced thru Repco was $257, a fair whack of cash for something that will do a similar job to the one I have, but if I can't find any filters for it, I may have to. quote:

The filter is for a single downdraught Weber, that has synchronous 40s. The air cleaner looks like this (bad photo, I apologise):  I'm happy to buy 3 or 4 if they are available at the right price, I fear going to Rare Spares or somewhere like that will cost the earth if I have to. Thanks for all the encouragement tho, everyones comments during the build really help me stay motivated and working thru the hard times to get the car where it is now, plus being able to ask all you knowledgeable people tricky questions when I get stuck is so valuable. I look forward to getting the car registered and to a classic ford cruise that I have been waiting so long for! Timmeh

Hey,
If it's for a DGAV or DGV, which from the photo's looks like it is, the part number is RF658. If it's not a DGAV or DGV, let me know what it is and ill chase it up. Repco stores probably wont have any in stock but should be able to get them in. In W.A. we get them in through a company called Topline. There maybe a local dealer in NSW that deals with ramflo. If you quote that part number, they should be able to tell you what the go is.
The price for the kit is $56 each. Just the replacement foam filter is $14 each.
If worst comes to worst I could get them over here and post them to you.
Hope that helps!
Cheers.

Beauty, thanks for that. Lizard - thanks so much for your help, I managed to find some on the uniflow website for 10 bucks each. I ordered three on Friday, thinking that I'll save myself postage. I also did not choose express postage, thinking I'll wait for them to turn up. Monday morning, here they are on my doorstep - how could express possibly be faster! I also found out they are re-useable filters, wash and oil. 3 should last me a hell of a long time. The RS is still proving to be frustrating, but AusXH keeps reminding me that where I am now is the fun part - making it run beautifully. That's still to come, by the way, right now it is running and registered! Woohoo!  Too bad it is storming up a beauty outside so sorry bout the bad pic in the limited break of rain, no pics of vids yet, but soon! I'm also seriously looking at ripping off the chokeless Weber synchronous 40s and putting a choke-enabled 32/36 Weber on, as the DFAV 40s are giving me mucho problemos at the moment and no choke is a real hassle with this camshaft. It's so lumpy the engine won't idle below 1200rpm so without a choke, it requires three feet to keep it running when braking while cold. I talked to a Weber specialist today and he said for the application, a 32/36 tuned will be a much better package and will still deliver 95% of the peak performance while being so much more driveable down low. I'll swap over the carby soon and it will spend a whole day on a rolling road to be tuned. Also due to be lowered soon, so it's getting close to being how I want it for my wedding. Timmeh

Car looks great Timmeh, also those are Phat number plates. I can see a few NSW boys being jealous.

I found that my 40 was far better to drive than the 32/36 and gave better performance and fuel economy both around town and in a trip, they must be jetted right thou. Just my 2c worth. Great looking car, top job[:p]

Interesting, thanks. I'll see what happens with the 32/36s on, the idea of a choke does appeal, but it looks like I might be able to put the choke plates from it onto the 40s. I'll see what happens. Regards, Tim

I can completely understand where you're coming from with that, my DHLA40's do have the choke, but when I try starting it without the chokes on it just won't run (when it's cold anyway).

Thanks mate, it's not perfect and no show car but its fun. Yeah that day I took my better half into town seeing as the sun was out but didn't realise there was some big show thing on, so had to park on the foreshore to walk down to the shops for a cold drink. I'll have the car at the upcoming cruise for those going, looking forward to it, but won't be going nuts in the car as the engine still only has 300km on it at the moment (but used two tanks doing it heh, mostly when the 40DFAV was on, better now that the choked 32/36 is back on, really could use a dyno tune).
