don't waste your time! They are particularly stamped and very unique looking as opposed to something you would fabricate. With all of the labor involved in installing it, you will devalue your 914 and waste your money in the long run. The repro tray and supports are very inexpensive.

Replacements are cheap enough and not a single 'home made' tray i have ever seen looked anything but like a total hack ...
