Default Looking for lower airbox for MY88 XJ40

While working on my friend's XJ40 today I managed to ruin the lower part of the air filter housing because of a backfire in the airbox after spraying starting fluid in there.
Does anyone have a spare lower air filter housing piece for a MY88 car? This is the part that fits onto the front of the mass air meter.


Backfire snapped the corners off the lower air filter housing


Three corners broken off the lower air filter housing

Thanks for the offer Jerry
I also have a spare 93-94 lower airbox and the mounting points are vastly different.
Also the place where the smaller corrugated hose connects to the underside of the airbox is in a different place that causes an issue with the inner airbox mount.
So I think I specifically need a lower half from the 88-89 airbox.
