Weber 48 IDA Air Cleaners / Filters

Can anyone provide a manufacturer / part number for an air cleaner/filter that fits EACH INDIVIDUAL horn on Weber 48 IDA's? I have found screens, tea strainers, filters that are double (covers both horns) and so on but I can't find anything that will fit on each stack separately. I've come up with nothing in all my searches. Either they are rare or I'm a bonehead in my search technique. I'd like to leave the carbs open but I live on a dirt road and it's 2 miles to pavement. In that time, they will suck a lot of dirt. Please keep the comments about being a bonehead to yourself, I hear enuf of that from my wife! See engine pix.

One additional comment. I have found the filters that look like a foam sock and will use those as a last resort but I'm looking for something that resembles a K&N valve cover breather cap.

Look at this.....

http://www.gt40s.com/forum/builders-...e-chassis.html

Read the comments from other members.... apparantly the foam disintigrates very quickly and Im looking into replacing with stainless steel mesh... the idea of hemisphere 'tea strainers is also a possibility.
