Ventilation grille

I'm considering fitting a ventilation grille at the rear of the spider.
It appears most have two rows of five vents.
Does anyone know the exact dimensions and where these are obtainable, preferably in the uk.
Ally seems the usual material but a stronger material may be better.
Cheers

My item came from a forum member in the US who responded when I asked the same question.
I am not aware of any commercial source but a good metalworker may well have a louvre cutter and be able to make one. I was going to try my hand at ally forming when the item came up.

Here are some pics of the interior vent and the drain for rainwater I formed between the inner and outer skins of the spider. The drain pipe passes between and the pipe ends below the car. It works OK as yet no water has entered the car from the vent.
