Hi all, I want a new filter for my jabbasport kit with the heatshield. Anyone know where I can get one?

Cheers
Jake

Was at jabba last week, phone them up - they do Green cotton filters to fit for £40.
Alternatively you can go to Halfords or ebay to get a K & N service kit! £12 if i recall!

Those are the old ones - the blue one. They stopped using those cause the collar at the bottom breaks aparently, started using K & N or Green ones now!
Was going to buy one but for £40 I'm going to service the filter instead. Brian said keep them serviced and it will extend the life of your charger too. However he did also say a paper filter is the best for charger life!

Never had any problems with that the 7 years I have been running my Jabbakit

never had any issues with my jetex cone filters either.  But Green or K&N will be just as good.

I've not had any problems with my jetex one from the standard kit either. Think I'm gonna get another one of these as the colour matches the rest of the blue in my engine bay. Dont suppose anyone knows the sizes off the top of their heads?
