K & N Air Cleaner for TC air cleaner

In checking the K & N catalog, I find only one 4" diameter round filter
listed. E-4310. It is 2 3/8" ID, and 2 3/4" in height. Should work fine,
as there is only a 1" opening for air intake in TC cannister. A spacer,
or inner ring stop, could be made, to hold the filter at the top of the
cannister aligned with the air intake openings.

How would you open one of these cannisters to install a new filter? Mine appears to be made like a tin can - surely you wouldn't use a can opener would you?
Thanks,
Gene

A large diameter spring would work to hold it up. There are some at the
hardware store, surely.
Best,
Ray

I think that this refers to the reproduction canisters which have
cast aluminium top and bottom plates. By unscrewing the nut at the
top of the canister these plates can be pulled out of the canister.
The interior is a simple cylindrical space. The original ones have a
more complicated interior containing what looks like a reactive
silencer.
I have a reproduction canister which was filled with domestic quality
steel wool. The wool was rusted and disintegrating - not good stuff
to be breathing into the engine. I removed the wool and replaced it
with an oil-filled foam element similar to those used over the
venturi intakes on some racers. If anyone's interested I can provide
details.

Thanks Mark,
I had gathered that there must have been two different types of cannisters - I examined mine carefully and knew it was sealed completely.
