Round Hood Backrest Bracket and plywood

Does anyone have a template or dimensions for one of these? 

 

They don't seem like they would be terrible to make, but I would like to make one as original as possible.  I may be missing some intricacies though that make it harder to make than I imagine.I've never seen one in person before.

 

I can't bring myself to pay $100+ for a rotten piece of plywood stuck on a rusty piece of steel with a few holes in it!

Thanks to @WHX?? I managed a frame for one. It needed to be recovered and I decided to replace the plywood as well. I traced the old back onto a new piece of 9-ply then wet it down and let it sit a few days weighted in the middle to give it the slight curve. Add a coule blind nuts for the bolts. My wife picked up a piece of foam and some red vinyl and did the cover. Since she doesn't have whatever it takes to do the white thing around the edge she simple stapled it on the backside. I cleaned it up with another piece of 1/8" ply. I can get the dimensions later today. :)
