Dimensions or template for exhaust headers heat shield

Having recently installed the MM30 schmiedmann exhaust headers on my M535i I am becoming increasingly worried of heat related issues that might arise especially with the close proximity of the brake lines that pass on the inside of the wheel well. I noticed that on the M5 cars that was addressed with an extra heat shield that is now NLA (51481919062) Item 18 on the picture below

Could any of the proud owners of the M5's be kind enough to create a template diagram with the dimensions of this heat shield in order to make one out of an aluminium sheet. Or if someone has a spare one I would gladly buy it from him.

My heat shield is out of the car so can take measurements and photos.

PM me your e-mail address and I will do this weekend for you.

Nikos,

Did you get my e-mail with photos and sketch of the M5 heat shield?

I'm interested as well.
If someone could come up with the measurements I might even be able to make up CAD drawing.

You can't see me take a breath, hm? ;)
Just Nr. 18?

I'll see if I can drop my spare one off at the fabrication shop this or next week to get a quote.

Yes, I lust for two of those good 'ol Nr. 18s.

To be clear, there's no hurry. Said part will not be installed in Minerva until at least late 2018. It's totally optional for Vlad.

Did anything ever happen with these being remade? Long time ago I know
