I measured my Montgomery Wards box top bag. Here are the deminsions.
Square top is 4" deep x 8" wide. Length of bag is 25 to 26 inches long, then the bellows with 2 screw adapter. There is a cardboard insert in the top of the bag to keep the square shape. Here is a picture of mine. The gold brokade bag is some kind of vinyl material, not cloth like the one in my pictures. Takes F & G paper bags. The last picture is a picture of a two speed maroon upright with a genuine eureka bag, that they sell on ebay for 30 some dollars. It is a triple filter multi color bag and it has black, gold, burgandy and white colors in it that would be an alternative if you decide not to make a box top bag. PR-21 | ||

Thank you for your measurements. I have them written down. Now's it just comes down to finding the right material to make it out of. Oddly I have a Heavy Duty seeing machine. Thanks for your help! | ||

Your welcome, on the length, remember to add enough length to wrap under the fill tube adapter. You can attach the bag to the fill tube with wire or a couple of long plastic ties. I would wrap the wire or ties in somekind of tape, like electrical to keep it from rubbing against the inside of the lower bag.
