Hi I think you can get those round cylindrical sponges that are found in C328.

I don't think the round sponge can give a good fit. It has to be stretched alot in order for the inlet to go in and the bottom of the sponge wil not wrap around it. Anyway I replaced the I inlet with a cylinder type and using the round sponge.

You can just cut a piece of fine sponge from a pad and just stuff it into the strainer section. However, this might reduce the output of the filter and will probably clog extremely fast over time. Still worthwhile than trying to fit a cylindrical sponge piece over the strainer.
