Not really the same, but similar.  I made some scoops for an air cooled from
a galvanized garbage can lid once.  The Splittie was painted battleship
grey, so they fit right on matching the color, even.  With the little rolled
edge on the lid to put some sheet metal screws through, all it took was my
tinsnips to cut the lid in half.  If I did a vanagon, I'd use pop
rivets..Stainless or aluminum, and maybe one of those translucent almost
transparent dish bins..find one to fit.

If you come across any photos of how these are made I would love to
see them.
