Dimensions - Leo centre cap

I need dimensions from a Leo centre cap, fairly pronto. Can anyone help?
It's a long term project, but stage 1 might need to happen in the next week or so. I have no idea what the back side looks like, so currently I can't say which dimensions I need. If someone has a photo of one, I'm happy to photoshop on the dimensions required for that person to fill out again?
Ta all

I'd appreciate that please Theo, I'm going to make some reps (in standard Chris time before anyone gets excited!) as mine came with none and I can't get them anywhere!
Do you need my address? I'll check if I still have your paypal

OK, here're the pics:
approximate dimensions
inner ring: 56mm approx
outside, from rim to rim: 61mm approx
outside, the black part: 42 mm approx
height of the "V": 17 mm approx
length of the "V" (measured at the top): 32 mm approx
Not much help for a reproduction run, I'm afraid ...
Cheers
Tom

Im sure plastic would be better. You should look into 3d printing, this is applications that could be suited to 3d printing. Low run batch. The best way would be to get one 3d scanned giving you an SLA file (I think) that could be used for the 3d printer
