I haven't taken note of it recently but for many years there was a long-running ad in the CCCA monthly bulletin for a source for terne plate spring gaiters. Perhaps Eaton Spring would have a lead on a source. I've seen them made by a restoration shop here, I think the hardest part is forming and closing the folded seam on the bottom of each section - I think the rest is fairly straight forward sheet metal forming though I've never tried it.

If it is helpful to you I can measure the thickness of the sheet steel on my covers.
