In case anyone else has an odd sized filter socks I found a solution. I'm going to purchase two 5'' plastic embroidery hoops and make or buy 7'' drawstring filter socks. Links below

Because my sump filter socks are 5.5 inches. 4 inch socks are too small and the 7 inch are too big.
The 4" filter sock won't fit. I would have to make a new filter holder. There's a big difference in filtration potential between 4 and 5.5 inches and I prefer bigger socks. Here's a pic showing 4" doesn't fit in my sump and size difference.

You can buy the embroidery rings at any craft, fabric store...even WalMart. I have actually made custom socks and they work very well.
The question I have is:
If you are making custom socks, why not build a square frame out of pvc and make one big 11"x5.5"x14" sock? Make more than one....make them with stainless snaps and cut the material to have flaps that go around the pvc frame.
.....or....buy brass or stainless eyelets in the top (folded over double for strength) and use zipties or stainless hooks....or plastic shower curtain rings....
