The Tiico filter housing is not even close to what I have. I can get replacement filters for those already.

       This is in response to Karl's question on what to replace the South African cylindrical air filter with.  I have recently done this myself, and here are my results. 
        I did a quick look to see if Fram, etc., had anything similar to it, but it was a pain in the butt.  I decided to go with the K&N filter, for the variety of obvious reasons (increased horsepower, never replace, etc.)  I looked up K&N's website to find filters that fit our needs: 
  -intake flange 3 1/2" dia. 
  -case dia. 7" 
  -case length 10" 
  -1" brackets at 8" into cylinder, effective diameter 5"
