From memory, that is a galvanized metal flat bar that has matching holes drilled and bent to the contours of the opening.  The bolts then sandwich the top holding it in place.  There where square foam "washers" at each of the bolt locations.

Hopefully someone can post their's with dimensions.  Should not be hard to make.

Not sure where in the basement mine is. My vert I took apart 1985-6 and then life got in the way.... :(

Here is a link with some pictures:

Really?  Interesting.. will go look..

Just notice it doesn't have the snap buttons....... Or am I missing something?

Just got off the phone with them.. All they sell is the steel frame.. No hardware nor snap-buttons..
