Need a Yanmar 2GM20F air cleaner assembly

My 81' E-28+ project boat came with a 93" Yanmar 2GM20F. The air cleaner assembly is missing. Anyone out there that has one they can part with? I also posted this on the diesel forum but did not put enough detail in the title. Al Frakes, Port Kent, NY

I was lucky enough to snag a used one for $10 for my 2QM20. They are pretty expensive at retail.

Would any small air cleaner work if one was to redrill the mounting holes to match the engine?

I considered the same - an aftermarket air cleaner. I think the answer is twofold. Yes, it will clean the air. But on the other hand will it be designed to achieve the acoustic goals of the factory item? They are in the literature described as "silencers." As loud as my diesel is/was, I was very interested in the silencing properties of the factory air cleaner.
