West Bend 580 Air Filter?

[Terry Armstrong]

Has anyone found a replacement air filter like the original "Skinner Ribbon Air Filter"? They were used on many early chainsaws, lawnmowers and kart engines in the late 50's and early 60's like the West Bend.  I have the carburetor base plate, "tower" support and the end plate.  The filter element was about 1.4" - 1.5" inches in diameter and about 2.5" inches in length.  My 580 is going on a minibike.

So far I cannot find any small air filters this size that will work.  The Skinner filter is shown below on a Homelite chainsaw that was made from '59 - '61.  Thanks!
