What kind of filters work for the inlet & outlet ports of the Kirby shampooer / carpet cleaner?

My Tradition has the original outlet filter, and it looks to be a simple, single ply woven fabric. But the original inlet filter disentengrated in the box, and it looked to be some foam material.

I tried cutting a small engine air filter -- the green foam stuff -- to fit the inlet one but it looks to reduce the suction too much because few suds were made.

The black sponge type filters used in newer cannisters.
