Porch light lens template for '77 Safari

Howdy folks.

Since i cannot seem to find a replacement lens for the little porch light above the door anywhere from the usual vendors, I was wondering if someone would be good enough to sketch up a template of the lens that fits this model.

The one i had was extremely warped and brittle and a wasp had made a nest behind it! It broke into numerous pieces upon removal. My attempts at free handing a replacement have been frustrating. I can quite get a good enough fit.

I would be very grateful.

Are you looking for the lens for the light over the door? The one we have someone simply cut out of thick plastic - but not so thick it couldn't be cut with an exacto knife. What are you trying to use for lens material...?

Yep, that is the one. I have some stock plastic i picked up and attempted to craft a replacement piece but working from shards of the former as a template was a pain in the butt.

Was hoping that perhaps someone had a template of theirs or a link to one. I would even buy a replacement if i could find one.

Come on Airstream forums, don't fail me now. Someone out there must have a link to one or would be willing to trace out a template and scan it for me.

Pretty please?
