You should try RL411 filters,  They don't exist any more.

Try motorcycle filters ganged together under the housing. At least they will look [externally] authentic.

 

Previous reference to RL411 filters is NOT an alternate. They won't fit.

I got this filter from a 280zx and made it fit my R1 set up. Made the top and bottom parts out of aluminum. I think it's longer than your 12.6" and I think closer to 5" wide but I could measure it. What are the chances a zx filter is the same as the L16SSS?

Not an air filter, more of a strainer. It'll catch the larger stones.

I bought 6 when they were still available and even gave some away to "deserving" individuals who needed them to complete their restorations.

I still have 1 left, it has been a long time!

Is your car RHD or LHD?  Our LHD cars struggle for well fitting air filters, because of brake master cylinder in the way.  A SSS should be RHD, so you really have nearly unlimited room.  K&N will have dimensions on all of their air filters, whether OEM replacement or aftermarket/custom applications, on their website.  iirc they even break down round, oval, square etc............sounds like you need oval?  The 1980's Subaru's used a rather large oval air filter.  Datzunmike's idea of a Z car or later 280ZX is cool.............look up in K&N to see measurements!

 

Those "screened" stacks are useless for filtering dirt.  Here in Colorado, it is very dry & dusty, so it is imperative that we run proper air filters............but many do not & end up sucking in dirt, which ultimately gets in the cylinder bores & scratches the bore!  Not good!

 

Damn it, have a GREAT day!!!!!!!!!!! 😁
