I don't have a blueprint, but just make one to fit.
1/8 inch plate is thick enough.
If I remember right someone on oilburners was making and selling them(kinda pricey)

i would just got some 1/8 plate and make one yourself like Star said.
cut the plate to cover the defect area plus an inch or more, and drill it to fit the master, then bolt the plate to the firewall with the master and add a few bolts along the outside of the plate.

Terrapin Manufacturing

That's the guy making the plate, $100 for the kit.

I got one from Ford only a couple months ago. You sure they do not make it?
