Default Axle nut cover split spacer

Does anyone know where I can get a split axle nut spacer like the one here circled in red? I have a set of dresser axle cover and the right fits but the left needs the spacer they use in the dyna kits from HD but I don't want to have to buy an entire axle cover kit to get one.

If nobody can come up with a source, should be easy enough to make one. Plastic or metal? If you can get me reasonably accurate dimensions, I'd be happy to make one for you.

That's a generous offer. How much tolerance would you need on sizing?

According to the instruction sheet the spacers do not have a H-D p/n.

Looks pretty forgiving. I'd say say +/- .032 would be sufficient but it looks like Paul (above) has a far better fix.

That's very generous. How about I get some measurements on here to make sure the one you would supply fits my need first?
