The Ramflo filter will fit on the Dellorto but you may have to remove the mat on the firewall(if it aint already gone...)

I got mine from Autopro or Repco may have them.

Hooroo

Ramflo RF455 P5S is the one, the filter body is offset upwards.
Keep an eye on the foam, when it's had it I'd buy a Unifilter LNX400 pad for $8.90. And oil it with Unifilter oil. :wink:

Ramflo filters here-
http://www.lynxcorp.com.au/shopping/def ... &group=ALL
Note the RF445 `P5S' offset bases are hard to get, you may have to order one.

Unifilter foam pads here-
http://www.uniflow.com.au/
p/no is LNX400.

YES.
Weber DCOE and Dellorto DHLA carbs share common inlet and outlet flange sizes.
But internally, nothing is the same.... ie Weber parts only fit Weber.

if you're sorry, why did you post it :P
hahahaha you're just an easy target Ryan :D

do you actually need sock filters for your dellorto - are you sure the ramflo isn't one that sits flush against the mouth of the carb???

like these?

Personally I'm not a fan of ramflo foam filters. It's K&N all the way.. I'm not gonna risk my 15 grand engine to a marginal filter...

Filters only stop rocks from going in, you know this; right?......

GOOD foam filters better than paper. Ask Unifilter. :wink:
I agree with comments above re Lynx's Ramflo foam, but the Unifilter (or the old Finer Filter) foam is GOOD.
