Finding the missing parts of a Kenwood Ka-8004 (wood side panels)

I found this KA-8004 and as usually they are most of the rocker switches were not there anymore. I decided to start my restoration process from the production of rocker switches. Eventually, these switches were hand made by a great artist (Mehmet Usta) in Turkey. I attached the photos (my bad not really good photos) after attaching the new rocker switches.

Now I would like to reproduce side woods. Is there someone who can share dimensions or even better construction plans of the side woods?

Thank you!

And of course needless to say with our without side woods or switches this amplifier sounds great! GREAT
