It’s really stupid simple. I took some plastic from a product package, (that stuff that’s impossible to open without a flamethrower and explosives) and cut a hole to fit the OEM funnel thingy. Then I just freehanded with scissors and kept doing trial and error fitting and cutting till it fit. Then transfer the shape to the silicone sheet,  https://www.ebay.com/itm/Silicone-Rubber-Sheet-High-Temp-Solid-Red-Orange-Commercial-Grade-8-x-8-x-1-8/201145393346?hash=item2ed53320c2:g:TsUAAOSwqnVbznk S:sc:USPSFirstClass!95006!US! The hard part was the drilling of the pop rivet holes, I used my pneumatic 90 degree aircraft sheet metal drill and really short bits to drill the holes for the pop rivets, installed it and gooped with seam sealer.
