Jon:
I think what you are looking for is called the "airbox" and is part # 1201429
(Series I and II) or #1214592 (Series III) (plate H -section A #307 and 308 ).
A different setup is listed
for later Series III and IV because they had the single Solex carb.
Of the two, the Series III airbox is more desirable because it has the breather
hose connection, and would allow easy installation of a pcv valve.
I hope you get lots of responses, because I am looking for one as well, to
replace the non-std. temporary set up on my Series I! Please redirect any
surplus offers to me!
