I had a Tefba on my car for a while. For those not familiar or have not seen one, it is a black plastic housing that mounts in the upper radiator hose. The difference is that it has a cap on the side of the filter. The cap can be unscrewed and the filter cleaned out without disturbing the hose connections that John talked about. They work fine, are well made, and are convenient for touring. However, they are an obvious modern device under the hood….so in a concours event, they look a little out of place.

Irv Blonder told me about the panty hose trick making an excellent upper radiator hose filter. That’s what I use during show season.

Happy Motoring,
