There are no kits, you just buy the bits you want to change.

That filter only went to 'Export' countries so we don't have them in the UK. Can you measure the thickness of the metal rod and see how many turns of thread there would be in one inch of rod?

I checked it on my filters, it looks like 5 mm, but the metric 5 tapped does not go in the nut for more than a few windings.
So it must be the BSF thread , possible 3/16 " ?

The part number for the air cleaner wing nut is AAA3936 / 184825 (MOSS).
A plain washer and a spring washer is also fitted and are installed under the wing nut - plain washer against the top of the filter.
I would suggest that the wing nut required is 1/4" UNF or at most 5/16" UNF.
