Go to a junk yard man.

Or as previously stated "make one"

Get yourself a nice thick but bendable piece of stainless steal a set of heavy duty tin snips a saw of some sort would be easier. Find the mounting holes on the head and mark them on your metal. Drill the mounting holes, now you "may" need longer screws (but I doubt it) since you might not be able to form the metal to the head exactally like the factory shield. Before mounting bend (wrap) the sheet around the head then mount. The key hear is getting a strong but workable piece of metal. Hell if you do a nice job bending it will look better than what the original did. Oh yeah and don't cut yourself that ish is sharp.
