Default Deuce back rest/sisy bar help needed

When I bought my '03 Deuce I was told it came with all the parts to install back rest rest/sissy bars. Turns out that's NOT the case. It came with all the parts except the mounting plate that apparently goes under the fender to provide support. The Dealer told me they don't sell that part separately and I'd have to purchase the entire kit. I'm sure I could find someone to fabricate me a new one, but I can't find a diagram or picture of the missing piece anywhere. Can someone help me out, either with a link or a picture of the part?

Of course, if anyone just happens to have one laying around...

Purple, I have no idea what it's worth to be honest. Give me a price including shipping.

I figured as much. I was just trying to get an idea of thickness, and whether it's curved to the fender or straight.

Dont use fender washers,its 2pcs that sandwich the fender for strength. If the other offer falls through,pm me. I have 2 extra sets. My bike came with plates and no sissy bar so I picked up one with plates. I also had a Deuce sissy bar on my Warrior and didnt need the plates for that setup..

For some reason I can't post pics. But Custom is right, the base does have a slight curve to it. But there are only three holes, in a triangular pattern on the part that attaches to the fender.
