In practice a wedge of wood actually does the job just fine, keeping the airfilter pressed firmly against its mating surfaces.
Got a 500/4 with rust and a sidecar and loadsa bits. nice and original and been round the clock

I posted a desperately seeking on this last year. At the time I had three bikes and no springs. Since then I managed to find a brand new one its own dirt cheap and another that was very expensive, but came with a complete bike.

A cad drawing may be useful, I may be able to get one 3D printed, im not sure how successful it will be but could be worth a shot.

  I assume the 500 is the same as the later 550,
its thin springy steel,width approx 13mm,(call it 1/2")
