Welcome! Let's see a picture of your plane.
What year is your 8KCAB? My '78 has a Bracket air filter. Bracket is the brand. Just the foam gets replaced. Comes in a special sealed pouch because it is coated with some special goop.

First step is always Chad at the factory. If no luck there, try Spruce, Wag Aero, Univair, Ebay, etc.
Are you sure you are supposed to have a bracket there? That is common on Citabrias and Champs. However, every Decathlon I have seen has a hinged brace at the lower front edge of the window to limit how far it opens. Max speed with the window open is well below typical Decathlon speeds.

Interesting. Your aircraft will probably have lots of unique attributes, being the first year. Parts catalog looks like they changed a lot of details from 73 to 75.
Brackett makes a replacement air filter for the Fram automotive style filter. If you already have that then you just replace the foam insert at annual every year.
