Discolite Vela or Dynasty battery cover

Hi everyone,
I actively 3D design and print replacement parts for old-school boomboxes on eBay to help keep our community's boxes complete. I have already fully modeled and tested the battery cover for the smaller Megatech Discolite variant using Alibre.
I want to release a reproduction cover for the full-sized Vela (DK-990R / DK-7000) and Dynasty versions, but I don't own the larger box and the original covers online are priced way too high.
If anyone with a full-sized Vela/Dynasty box and a digital caliper can assist me with a few quick measurements of their battery cover (or the empty rear recess opening), I would be incredibly grateful. As a thank you, I will ship you a couple of the finalized, 3D-printed replacement covers completely free of charge once the design is verified.
Please drop a comment or DM me if you can help grab a few dimensions, and I can send over a quick sketch showing exactly which edges to measure. Thanks for helping keep these light-up grails alive! You can also reach me at foremanpedro@gmail.com

I'm not sure what this post is about (4. Direct ebay Seller Strategy???).
I got two covers (he actually sent me two for my 990 and one for my 7000) from a member here.
They needed a little work but they ended up fitting really well.
If you're looking for a cover, lmk and I'll give you his name.
If you're the one selling from your quoted message, nevermind.

What's up Tinman, You miss understood my thread.
This is not a seller strategy, I also sell on ebay, I'm not the one you bought those items from. I need help with measurements for a battery cover for the Discolite Vela or Dynasty battery cover and in return I will send the member who was willing to help out with those measurements a free battery cover in return.
