I have a few fabric sheets that i removed while cleaning/refurbing my

material? i have a feeling it should be available at a fabric shop.
seems to be some generic sort of fiberglass.

I re-created the fabric for a PC=8300 a couple years ago.
It's just generically called "non-woven fabric".
Basically almost any place that sells fabric probably has it.
I got some at a local jo-anns or michaels or walmart etc, possibly hobby
lobby. I don't remember which but the first place I tried had it so that
suggests it doesn't matter much, it's not super rare. It wasn't even a
dedicated fabric shop like jo-anns, just something like michaels that
has a fabric department in back. Might have even been a target or walmart.
It's hard to find the right stuff just from pictures on-line. I just
went in person and looked at a few things and they had something that
was practically identical.
I drew up a stencil in xfig and traced it with an xacto knife to cut the
sheet. I don't think it directly helps you with any other model but here
it is anyway.
