vacuum pump pad cover

Been thinking more & more about removing the horizon, DG, vacuum pump, and associated stuff from my VFR-equipped C180, and replacing it all with a "pocket" Dynon D2. Thousand bucks, clips into a 3" instrument hole, and no paperwork required. I'll need a cover plate for the vacuum pump drive pad, I've seen them fabricated from aluminum plate but I've also seen factory made cast ones. Does anyone know a source and/or p/n for one of these? Don't think they have to be Continental or Lycoming specific as I believe vaccum pumps all have a standard flange. Thanks.
