I had the same problem on my '85. Fortunately, I was able to find a salvage unit. However, I did give some thought to what I would do if necessary to fabricate one.
Mine was made of plain steel sheet metal, painted. With all the aluminum they have handy, I wonder why Airstream did not use aluminum? Unless someone knows a good reason why, I believe I would get a sheet metal shop to rivet one together out of galvanized metal.
Also, there is rather a good deal of insulation (principally styrofoam) used in those pans. Do not forget to add that when you re-assemble.
