Why not take the one off of your car?

I was gonna say the same thing... use the stock one as a template, and if its not there anymore.... the markings from where it sat and the holes probably still are... well the holes for sure....lol

Take it off, get the measurements, and put it back on...

looking for a blank one? Ebay has one. I got it and it is pretty nice. I will eventually mill something on it.

That seller has nice custom ones too and they are inexpensive. Well worth the $$ compared to time and materials to DIY, IMHO
