hay guys just looking for some confirmation.... back in good ol NZ was common practice to slap a ramflo air filter system on the k motors....

ive been searching high and low and have been told that ramflo filters were pulled off the shelves in Aus due to fire hazard or someting is there any truth to this :)

also been looking for an alternative ive seen afew pics on here with the polished rectangle filters which id be keen to get my hands on but pretty much everyone i ask i just get ummms and errrrrs :lolcry:

In melbourne so would be nice if someone could suggest somewhere local ( oh and I'm aware of K&N but tryin not to spend that kinda $$ )

cheers guys

I knew about the fire hazard but have not heard about them being pulled, You can still buy them from wholesalers in Aus like on ebay, Just try your local auto shops.

googled this in 2 seconds...

google + "ramflo air filter" = answer.

thanks dude i googled and didnt come across this site ? hmmm well thanks mate appreciate it

If I were you, I'd get a Ramflo but put a uniflow replacement filter element in it, the actual ramflo ones are pretty coarse whereas the Uniflow is a proper 2 stage oiled item.

 

I had my Uniflow catch fire and it just smouldered away, never actually caught fire.

cool thanks for the advice mate appreciate it
