Hi all. I experience the same problem on my Ercoupe. My Investigation showed no replacement air boxes available , exept the regular square style box, which according to Skyport (not Lee) should just work fine. I assume one needs a 337 for that. If you still have the old box in relatively good shape , it is worth considering a repair. I believe the shaft for the flapper can be bought and a new bushing made and brazed in. This is what I will do . Good luck with yours.
