Mk I Escort in tank fuel filter.

[LuvinmyEB]

The Maddestman and I have nearly finished cleaning out the fuel system on my Mk I. Carby's been reco'd, tanks out, just going to get some new fuel lines, fuel pump will be out and cleaned today.

However we've hit a brick wall, the fuel filter in the actual fuel tank is the original and is designed to be replaced and not repaired. And believe me it's so dirty and corroded it can't be put back on (well it could but we'd be back at step 1 again.. no fuel flowing through the lines as it is that blocked).

Off we went to Rarespares yesterday (as they told us they could recondition it for us), however as it turns out there was a misunderstanding and they thought we meant the sender, not the actual fuel filter.

So my question is this, does anyone know of anywhere in suburban Melbourne that I could possibly get another one of these filters or if one from a Mk II would fit?

I can provide a pic of said filter if need be.
