Fyi Melvyn Rutters advertises such an air cleaner. (And no, I don't have any
financial or other interest in any parts supplier....but thought you might like
to narrow down your search a bit.They monitor this net page and may well contact
you about this.)

Hoogly:
Morgan more than covered the bases on this issue. In the owners manual
they refer to the Carb as "Dustless". What ????? you don't accept just
calling a Carb Dustless as enough protection ? Well for those of us who
lack faith in the power of words Morgan also offered a air cleaner as a
option ( Yes those lacking faith always have to pay extra ). The air
cleaner is a metal wedge shaped box which bolts the Carbs and carries the
filter element on the back end. Yes, it is a tight fit but it can be made
to fit ( those lacking faith also have to work harder ). I borrowed one
and made a copy . The only problem I had was that, making it myself and
having to tell people I made it, I couldn't make it as crude as the
factory did. I believe some of the Morgan suppliers stock repros ( I'm not
saying which because I don't have a financial interest in any of them and
none have offered me any promotional consideration )
If your handy with sheet metal somewhere in "the garage with more parts than
any one man should have*" I have a scale drawing that I can send you .
Bob Nogueira ( Pardon the attitude but 10 weeks without a running Morgan
is starting to take its toll )
*PS: to the list : someone was looking for a spare Moss box.I lost the
message. If that person has not found one yet contact me . I'm not making
any promises but I maybe able to help !
