2003 Drivers side engine heat shield

I’ve got a 2003 Winnebago Adventurer 38g and I had the exhaust manifolds done with new studs, gaskets and all. Had 5 broken studs and the mechanic cut off (ground down the welds to remove) the drivers side engine heat shield that’s welded to the top of the frame. Picked it up 1st week in December and took it straight to its storage spot. Got it out this week and that’s when I realized that they didn’t put back the heat shield. Call them and they basically said I’m S**t out of luck since it’s been 3 months and if they could even find one, I’d have to pay for it.
What I need is if some one here could go measure how long and tall and thickness it is, I could get one made.
Thanks

Maybe there is one on the passenger side that you could mirror?

Passenger side doesn’t have one as all the wires from the front to back are on the left side of the engine.
This heat shield is about a foot tall and 4 feet long? Approximately.
