The original was about $65.00 but it has been obsolete for YEARS.
I always get a laugh out of seeing the tickford ones sell on Ebay for $100.00, seems bloody ridiculous when the BA one is EXACTLY the same sans the Tickford emblem.

So many blokes on here would have a better opinion on these type of filters than I so, I would ask someone like SWC or TROYMAN what their opinion is. :)

I do the same thing, I just need to time it right to sell the one I've got.
Maybe I'll hold onto it and it'll be worth $1000 like some early GT parts...lol

Ford never serviced it, they recommend that 1/4 inch square section foam be used.

The Headlamp is BAF 13006 D $394.00 You will also need a small patch harness as the headlamps have a different socket to the original BAF 13007 A $17.10.

The T-bar surround BA 7E213 A $77.80
