Bill :

Double check with TRF, but I think the following P/Ns are what you need,
and are available for around $140 ($134.95 in the '99 price list) :
Cover assembly, casing, petrol tank, front :
562224  Red
562225  Blue
562226  Black
562227  Gray

Yes, you could probably make something from thin plywood or Masonite.
(Check in the back at Home Depot, I frequently find Masonite panels with
damaged corners for just a buck or two.)  There is a bend of around
60-80 degrees near the top of the tank, which you could probably create
with several small angle brackets bent to the right angle.  But, the
original metal (at the bend) panel made a smoother curve, the difference
might be noticeable.  An expert wood bender might be able to duplicate
the bend with plywood, but I sure couldn't.
