Cold smoke plate

Could someone please tell me What the dimensions of the cold plate for a 1460 model are ? I work in a metal shop and can make my own vs tossing 100 bucks away.

I asked this in the Smokin-It forum because I have both a ST 1400 and a Smokin-It #3.
The best info I got was the cold plates are 1/2 in shorter than the length front to back. Side to side is the same width as the racks.

Thanks Lonzo . I didn't figure they would want to release top secret information that could cost them the loss of a sale! I already made one and it works great. I just made it 1" shorter all the way around.

What did you use for insulation?

High temp insulation from the glass plant . They use it to line the blast furnace where they melt the glass to make wine bottles
