Doc, that looks like the same Lucas unit fitted to a Pantera. I think they sell for around $150 from the Pantera vendors. Part no. 17012A Panteras By Wilkinson

A different type of filter. Keeps items out that could jam a throttle at least.
These on a Lola T70.  | |

I use the same type of filter and blew the foam out of it after a couple laps around the track. At least the mesh keeps out the leaves. I am planning on changing the trumpets to fit K&N air filters. Great filtering for the street, easily popps off for track days.

Bill,
There are a couple of threads on the forum about the filters. Here is one of the better ones. individual Weber screens
There is every type of filter and manor of attachment from elaborate milling devices to caulking compound. I went with rivets. There are several tea strainer sites out there. They run about $3-5.00 U S. Just know your size and how you want it to go on.
Bill

The glacier moved a few more feet in the right direction today......
Water outlet pipe......
Now looking for the correct hose from the inlet manifold to the 'cow horns' got it from a good source that they are from a mini engine (the real mini from 'your only supposed to blow the bloody doors off....' film). Its important to have the correct 'step' in the pipe to keep the internal bore consistant. Keep you all posted on that one.
