DIY Thorens TP 16 tonearm antiskate gauge cover?

I have a TP 16 tonearm that is missing the aluminum gauge with all the numbers that lets you set the antiskate. While I've guesstimated the antiskate so it works, I was wondering if anyone has ever DIY'ed a replacement (there is a NOS one on the selling site that costs $66 with shipping, which is way more than I need to spend). Just wondering if anyone has ever tried this and/or has a the exact measurements including the slits.

I could try and take a hi res photo for you, with a ruler for scale, and you could print it out and glue it on? It would put you in the ballpark, and probably as accurate as any of them (I imagine magnetism can change over time?). I have to set final anti-skating by ear, or with my ear and the HFN test LP. Lemme know...

Hey, sorry, been crazy busy - that would be awesome!! Like you, I've just done it by ear, but having the guide would be nice. Thanks!
