I made them myself.  As you said, I found either too thin or too thick.  I
went with too thick and tried all sorts of ways to curve it - heat, steam,
grooves.  I did ok.  But it was not perfect.  I guess though now looking at
them 20 years later, they look ok!  (This is on my Alpine.  The Tiger is
still original).
