Lowes sells different width aluminum strips they are about 1/16th" thick.
They come in 3,4,6 foot lengths.
They also have perforated aluminum if you want to replace that.
Home Depot has it also.

Canada is pretty dumbed down and they dont carry stuff like that.
The do have blue hair dye though...


We see this part come up missing a lot.

We use the 2-inch wide aluminum-foil duct tape. The adhesive is made to tolerate heat. Haven't seen peeling problems with it.

Just about the exact same width as the missing deflector.

I have that tape here. I was gonna use it as a last resort if I coulldn't source the panel.
 
357,
Being the hoarder that I am, I just can't leave a piece of metal alone. Not unlike me to pick up the smallest scrap of steel, aluminum or brass or whatever I can find. (Good thing my Wife is scared of going into our crawlspace) I'm sure I have a piece of something that would fit your needs but may need trimming or drilling or whatever to fit the space. Dismemberment of discarded electronics have yielded some good scraps I save for a rainy day. None of my "scores" helps your needs at the moment, but a sharp eye in your everyday treks could yield a perfectly useful piece, that with a little labor, could solve your problem.
Good Luck!
