seriously bilko............just measure up and go down to your local car boot sale..................................
look at ali pots /pans and lids etc..........
i,m sure you will find something that you can adapt to suit for say 50p.............
you can then if you wish......get it chromed/polished/engraved.......whatever..........

you can also get something made up specially by a pro...................but at what cost......?

when i was racing i had a catering sized baked bean tin for a while, then graduated on to a tupperware bowl until a kindly scrutineer told me i couldnt have tupperware as it wasnt strong enough (i think he was just miffed he had never been invited to a tupperware party) so using the tupperware as a mould i made a fibreglass repro of it.. :D

i realise this is of no practical use to you.. but i think sean is on the ball, look for something that can be adapted and you will save a whole lot of dosh.. if you want to spend dosh look up 'aluminium spinners' online, im not sure theres many left but they could knock up something quite cool i would have thought..

The DACTEK boys have something similar to what you're after on their bikes, maybe they could sort you out Bilko?
