Hi Guys, I've got a single Pierburg carb conversion on my van, it had a mod'ed KnN airfilter on it but its knackered and I need something suitable to replace it. I've looked all over the net but because of the low clearance between the carb and the engine cover ( < 70mm ) and the size of the opening for the filter ( 90mm ) I can't find anything suitable. Any ideas please :idea

Its a type 4, 2 ltr (CU I think?). The thing is the van was like it when I bought it so I don't know if it had an air filter assembly prior to the KnN. Looking at it I doubt if it did but I could be wrong. :(
