Does anyone have one of the large shims for sale so that I can mount my fully refurbished PTO winch?

Hello - apologies if this is in the wrong forum. I'm looking for an early rear step for my '68 40 - the one with the mounting flange angled inwards. Nothing on eBay and nobody makes or sells one that I can find from the usual suspects. Any help is appreciated.
