Help needed - Primary Locking Tool

Time for me to beg - I need a hand to make a primary locking tool, to lock the primary drive so I can undo the compensator sprocket and clutch basket. There's an official HD tool for doing this, and it's relatively cheap ($50ish), but there's a 5 week wait for delivery.
Fortunately, as well as the official HD service manual, I've been using this step-by-step guide at harleyhog.co.uk and he's got a design for a simple metal bracket that will achieve the same purpose. So I need someone with a few tools and hopefully a spare bit of 1/4" steel who can give me a hand making one.
See the attachment for the layout of the needed bracket - it's fairly simple. Mine's an FLT, so it's the shorter version. Offers of help (or just moral support) welcomed in the comments below.![]()
