Heater blower filter

[1963r2]

Looking for the filter that goes in the heater blower assembly. 

On the SI site they have filters for a Hawk or Lark, are they the same part for the Avanti ?

Thanks

Different part number, I think.

Part number for 1963 is 1556919
If you dont find the filter you can do it yourself. Its aluminium mesh. Same kind like "cooker hood grease filter mesh". Very simple.

Thanks for the photo, that's the filter. I see Hawk and lark listed, surely Stude being frugal they would have used the same filter on all.

Thanks

Width 198 mm = 7.80 inc
Length 186 mm = 7.33 inc

In the picture you can see how the measurements were taken.

Thanks a bunch, I will look for something close in size and trim it. On the rubber part, I guess it is rubber might try a split hose or a couple of flat pieces glued together.
