Hummm.  You could:



Support the new owners at

http://www.sportplanellc.com/



Or try lexan cut to fit.



Mine is fiberglass, but that would take some time to

fabricate yourself.



Aluminum is light, but will drum unless you put fabric

over it.



Do you have an old one?  If not, someone might be able

to send you a pattern from theirs.



Just a few ideas since the list is so quiet.

I know the hard way! I hand made a female mold using an instrument panel 

outline and centerline profile. I then vacuum bagged a carbon fiber 

laminate in the mold, plus a couple of risers to attach it to the 

instrument panel supports and a reinforcement strip that joins the 

instrument panel but lets hot air out from behind. It's a lot of work but 

the results are nice. Let me know if you want details.

If you want it out of fiberglass or carbon fiber you can make a mold from a 

thin piece of sheet metal and then layup the glass o nthe bottom side of the 

tin, use a release agent.
