MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Transmission tunnel section wanted

I've had a 5 speed gearbox in my Sprite since 1994 and I'm getting ready to replace it with what I call the 'evolution box' since it has a few more modifications over the original modified box. One thing it has is a modified tail casing to bring the gear lever position further forward. However, the existing transmission tunnel was cut for the original 5 speed conversion (and the metal long since scrapped).

So what I'd like is a section of transmision tunnel from where the original gear lever position starts to about the position where the tunnel is fully oval and at least on my car seems to form some sort of flange/join to I guess the rest of metal.

I'm hoping someone has a scrap shell they'd be happy to cut this section out from and post to me (or visit and have a chat about cars over tea/coffee). I'd pay any reasonable price as I think using original steel will form a neater and tidier job than working with new steel to form the shape etc.
