    They are £14.50 (about $25 Can) from Ferrari in the UK - maybe buy yourself a box of the things & ship them over!

    you may be shunned by the ignorant

    not something to worry about, it is about the same as being shunned by Fram users

    Do you ever wonder what the OTHER applications of the B253 might be?? :D :D

    I sidle into the local Truck Repair Depot now and then to pick mine up.
    Everyone else in the room, has a name patch on their shirt!!

    I noticed that these are the same filters that Mahle-Knecht make for OEM Porsche applications. They are NOT the cool red, but they can be had for about $10.00 so that is pretty nice.

    We get them all the time at the shop that I work at. I am not really looking to get into selling things here, but I am happy to help where I can.

    Those were rare ones from Chinetti in NY. I bought one for 200$ as I could not afford the $400 for both, they are from the late 60's early 70's! Mr Ferrari and Mr Bladwin were friends and after racing Ferraris kept blowing filters Baldwin made a heavy duty one for Mr Ferrari. He also swore that he would keep making them which they still do. I talked them into remaking some Ferrari shirts go buy some and enjoy

    actually they are closed out......

    I get mine from a truck repair shop too. And the other patrons have well-worn "CAT" & "Deere" baseball caps.

    But whatever the other application, it must be getting too old as the shop now must order them for me. I last paid $13 each about a year ago.

    I use Donaldson filters on my 308 which I pick up, that's right, at the local Detroit Diesel-Allison shop.
