MG MGB Technical - Charcoal Cannister

Has anybody changed the charcoal in the emissions cannister on the later B's ? My wifes 79 LE was bought from the original owner, and I'm sure it was never changed. What do you use for replacement?

They are expensive to replace. I opened mine up from the bottom and filled it with aquarium charcoal. It seems to work well. I believe there is a archive thread on this.
