I'm thinking that he is going to do like I plan to do and most guys who convert one of the early 50's Cad/Olds oil bath air cleaners to paper towels filter do and that is buy a base a few inches smaller than the ID of the inside of the cover.

I picked up an aircleaner base at a swap meet that gives a couple of inches of clearance around the element.

I found out you are better off to buy the whole lowbuck chrome filter or a base with info on what element fits it though.
