The mounting hardware is two pieces, the mounting piece and the "blind" are snapped together.
Your best bet is obtaining the dimensions of the Magnum model, since trimming will be involved at the rear points.
The rear mounting hooks should be a simple machining and mounting task.
Just my 2 cents

There is a typo in your thread, 17" should read 27".
I have the OEM one, mounted it myself twice, once in my '04 NA and again in the SRT. The OEM cover actually has a square lug at each end, I assume the Magnum one may have longer lugs.
I only started this idea when it looked like I would not be able to buy one, then I managed to get one. Lots of people want one but no one wants to bother to figure it out.
I think the one that is imported from the UK uses a cover for some car or other. It certainly was not made for us especially as to make one from scratch would be too expensive. I think one using the Magnum cover could be done for less than $200 if the cover cost $100.
I have given up on this project.
