Major oops! WH part needed

Hello All
I need parts for an old bowen water heater for my 1964 Globetrotter, here is why.
So, yesterday I am awaken by my pager, calling me into work at the FD. I know that I will not be home for 48 Hours so I need to move my project 1964 globetrotter off my lawn so I don't water it with the auto sprinklers. I am in a big hurry and not awake, this is where the oops comes in, I had just set the shroud for the water heater in its place the night before just to block the big hole in the trailer. When I moved the trailer forward the shroud must have fallen out onto the ground. when I went to back the trailer into the driveway I feel some resistance so I stop and pull forward, check all mirrors, when I try to back up again same resistance so I roll down the window and hear that terrible metal mashing sound. When I get out and walk around there is was the shroud smashed flat. (arrgh I am so stupid) Anyway I am still at work, tomorrow I will go home and survey the damage in broad daylight. I will probably need to find a replacement for this part. It is the shroud for the old 10 gallon bowen water heater, the piece that mounts to the Galvanized tank surround. If you know where one of these might be please let me know. Thanks for any help
Ben

Try a PM to UWE with a photo.he may have one from his O/L.
I have seen at least 3 different styles of those shrouds so a photo is a must.
Good luck!

Hello All
Thank you for your help. I have found a pic of what I am looking for here:

http://www.vintageairstream.com/rr_topics_hwheater.html

Style 1 is what I am looking for.
Incidently I just found a style 2 shroud today at a local junk yard, so if someone needs one of these let me know. Thanks again
Ben
