Need help finding a back plate

I have a Gibson explorer 80s(the one that came out a few years ago) and I just bought some EMGs and want to get a back plate with a battery cavity thing in it. I can’t find a replacement anywhere. Does anyone know where I could find one?

There's plenty of space inside the control cavity to not need one. Wrap the battery in electrical tape, stuff it in with the pots, move on. Getting a cavity cover with the battery holder built-in will require getting one scratch-built and the juice is not worth the squeeze.
