Default pic of HSW ashtray mount

I bought a HSW ashtray mount from a board member. It did not include the part that secures it. The purge button goes through this mount and that's how its held in place. HSW told me they don't sell that part by itself so I will have to make it. Anyone have a pic of this?
I have an idea but would like to see what the real thing looks like.

Its just a thin piece of metal......In all honestly, might need to brainstorm a new way to hold it, I have one and It wouldnt ever stay down. Just havnt gotten around to figure another way to secure it

Well I guess i'm not missing that much then. Do to the limited space I figure it can't be that wide. If I would use a little thicker piece of metal maybe that would help. The threads on the purge button are long so it could accept a thicker piece of metal.

Thanks for the replies.

This is what I ended up making. I used an aluminum plate. It's not the prettiest thing but you won't ever see it.
