Default 32 Battery Pan Dimensions?

Can someone provide me with the dimensions for the battery pan(sheet metal portion) of the 32 battery holder? I need to make a new one as mine is rotted out.
It does not matter weather it is the version with the rock shield or not.

Thanks,

Keep V-8ing and 4-banging!

But ain't no place to put it
'Less I perforate the hood.

Wanted, lower side sections of 32 radiator cowl.

Why make one when they are available for $30 reproduction?

Jim,

Making the parts is part of the fun I do like the challenge of making things with a limited shop.

Jim,

Thanks, I have two brackets, one that came with the wagon and one that I picked up. So I figured I'd make a pan. Should be pretty straight forward bends and hammer form the drain channel.
