Vermont casting Vigilant Termostatic air door heat sheild

[PunKid8888]

So I bought a used older Vigilant stove from Craig's list a while ago. and it had been pretty good but tends to have bad temp swings if I am not on top of it.

So I have been looking at some manuals and exploded views and I realize I am missing the rear Heat shield that goes over the thermostat, Its used if there is no big rear heat shield for the stove.

two of the screws that held in the big rear heat shield are broken off inside the stove. so until I extract those I was thinking of fabbing the little heat shield that goes around the thermostat.

So anyone have a picture of one and how its mounted, and maybe even a couple dimensions for me?

There's a copy of the manual for the older VC stoves on the wiki. It doesn't answer the question directly but may be of some help.
