Hmm, perhaps I didn't come across clearly. I have the wire mesh in my car (pictured). I'm looking to replace it (just the element itself) with a modern paper or even K&N style element but need a cross-reference or model number of what would fit. My next option would be to find a new OEM replacement (probably a reproduction or NOS item). I haven't called the usual suspects (Kanter, Max Merritt) yet but I have checked their websites quite well and don't see anything pictured there.

My last option would be just replace the air cleaner entirely which I have inquired about via a user in the Buy/Sell forum for the '53 model year, but I think right now I'm leaning towards a stock appearance, although a nice chrome air cleaner would look pretty in there.
