I'm not sure but I think if you contact K&N with the dimensions, they can fix you up. Their big concern is air flow.
 
I actually have a K+N filter kit that I bought years ago. It's actually some copper pipe and elbows soldered together with a rubber connector on the end. I'll try to see if I can get a number of off it tomorrow.

Chris Pelikin did some test with the K&N filter. We wrote him up and some of this work in the Model A Times Spring 2005.
 
E 2040 This one is about 61/2 inches long and will fit the air-maze end caps. The shorter filter will also work but I prefer the larger one. You might consider buying the cleaning kit also.

I have used this size air filter for several years and have not noticed any adverse effects in performance.

I mounted mine below and ahead of the carburetor and put a weep hole in the bottom of the connecting pipe at the low spot. This locates it down in the engine pan area towards the front. It can also be mounted behind and above the carb, This method puts it closer to exhaust manifold, gas line, and sediment bulb. If mounted this way, I would still put in a small weep hole in the low spot of the connecting pipe.

Any pictures of the air maze with the K&N?

Not all that pretty but very functional. At the time this picture was taken the carb had dripped a little gas, note that it hits the connecting pipe and not the filter.
