Thanks, Just kidding. It looks like you could make one pretty cheap if you can't find one.

Saw one on a Yellow Beetle yesterday in Cleveland.  It was designed just like the one pictures.  I asked the fella if he wanted to sell it and he said no.

It looks very simple to make, especially if you have access to a sheetmetal brake.  Looks to me about a 2 hour process.
