Air filter box

#1 Post by Snappers »

Does anyone know of a colour to match the air filter box on a 1977 dolly sprint please. Only need this to finish off the restoration would like to keep it as original as possible. Thanks

Well there's a sixty five dollar question...

Black or grey sir?

Go for Satin black....there's only one shade and the purists can't knock it.

If you go grey then BMC Dove Grey is a very good match.

Ford Dove Grey, readily available from Halfords. I compared it to an original TR7 airbox at the NEC last year and it was pretty much spot on.
