Pipercross air filter

[rog8811]

Hi folks, I have been working on my Berlinetta and the air filter element is in dire need of replacement, I have hunted high and low to get a replacement element, the only one that looked close is too tall and will be in danger of hitting the bonnet.
can anyone point me in the right direction to find one please?
So that I could drive her today I removed the rotting foam and made up the existing filter with scotch brite pads cut into strips, worked fine but a proper filter would be good.

As a more permanent temporary fix you could get some motor cycle air filter foam which is available off the bay and cut it to size .. this is what I did in similar situation.

I've fitted a PiperCross filter, part number C3003. they also sell a blank base plate you modify to fit your carb profile. The filter does get close to the underside of the bonnet, but as it is only foam it distorts and doesn't damage the panel.
I believe they do a slightly smaller version. Engine runs far better than the originally fitted chrome pancake filter.
Hope this helps DaveH

Thanks for all the very useful input, I have started by ordering filter foam and am looking into the other options.
The quick fix gave me a lovely day out with the car yesterday
