I am working on making an Apollo 13 lithium hydroxide (LiOH) canister adapter replica. The ideal way would be to use actual period components from NASA and if that's not possible, use replicas or scratch build all the components.
I believe the components used are two lithium hydroxide canisters, two LCG bags, two red suit hoses, grey duct tape, flight plan cover, two white socks and one bungee cord (to secure the modified filtration device to the wall of the LM).
Can anyone help me with tracking down these items or specifications to rebuild the parts, not including the sock and tape?

Here is a LiOH canister from the Apollo program that is for sale. I have one just like it signed by Buzz Aldrin.
