Ransomes sixteen mk2

Hi all. New to the forum. 
I recently picked up a ransomes sixteen mk2 with a villiers engine. I’m trying to find a replacement for the air filter which sits inside the cylindrical choke housing. The one in it is very bad indeed, beyond a clean, it does seem to be a replacement of earlier ones as it’s got the orange polyurethane body with pleated paper filling. It’s marked TECALMIT B3.

I’ve searched around and got nowhere. I’m thinking of buying some air filter foam and making one to fit.

Any advice appreciated.
