At long last I've managed to find a resin air filter to complete the engine. A couple lengths of Evergreen tube (223 inside 225), bent to shape with a cut down plastic bendy straw (another hard to find item!)

Finished completely. Pleased with end result.
Only thing I would do differently is to paint the stripes Rather than use tape.

Some thing more modern, going with the aftermarket custom look.
99% complete apart from the air intake.
