My HS4 carb had a long, curved trunking between the carb and the M1000 air filter. It looked blxxxx ugly so I replaced it with a pancake filter

the mg metro air filter will fit.. be careful there are two types one will end up with the open end pointing towards the fire wall and will not fit you want the one pointing towards the front of the car, you will also need the "elbow" to join the filter to the carb inlet ( if that makes sense )
