3 panel end dimensions

I have a 1978 international trade wind 25. I'm wanting to replace the top interior end panels with something like the photo attached. 3 panels. Has anyone replace these in this style? If so does anyone know the dimensions?

Any advice would be helpful.Click image for larger version

Man... I was hoping you'd find a 3 panel instead of the 11! This is coming up on my "to do" list as well...

I think it's going to be the same concept just with three panels. I'll post on how it works out for me.

The only way to do this with three panels would require stretching and forming panels from aluminum sheet. The OEM panels in your photo are wide body and I doubt there's an easy way to make them fit a rig of you era.

You could form you own with a lot of hammering and a big English wheel.
