I went to change the air filter in my d17 and after I removed the screw/bolt the piece covering the air filter fell apart. It seems like a cloth type material not really sure what it is. Anyone know of a place to get a replacement for this.

Not available anywhere, but not really a problem.  Any air that comes in still passes through the filter, so the engine is still getting clean air.

Would it be possible to make a metal cut out for it and use that instead?

The idea was the material they made it out of sort of sealed the end of the filter/canister area to force air to enter thru the stack. Cooler and possibly cleaner air that way. You can make it out of what you want but a little flexible would be better function wise. A thin piece of rubber belting would work, and see if it can handle the underhood heat.

I bought a replacement from Agco about two years ago. It didn't really look like the original and was made out of a thin rubber material and basically just sealed the end. Ryan
