Hi Guys,

Just wanted to follow up and post a resolution here in case anyone finds themselves in similar situation.

I was able to fabricate a pretty convincing replica for around $18.00 by ordering a return air grill off of amazon. The size was perfect, just had to bondo and sand the two screw holes, install the thumb latch, and paint it to match.

They have all kind of sizes. I imagine one could do the same and make a Royal sized one, or a propane vent door. Just keep in mind they list them according to vent size. The actual size of the grille is about 1" bigger around so that 18x10 one is actually just about 19.75" x 11.75"
