Just a suggestion but could you not haul your old 'plate out and make a template from it? It may be slotted to fit over the pivot bolt so could be lifted out without removing the bolt?

Possible sources of plans:
The Royal Naval Sailing Association, the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, and the Royal Navy Museum at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard

A full plan must exist somewhere.... A quick online search found this image. I know that it is expensive to get plans held by the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich copied, but this is an option. Their site is not easy to navigate and from my own research into the 25ft Motor Cutter they do not reply to emailed enquiries, but may be worth a try.
I'll ask an acquaintance of mine who collects ex Admiralty boats if he can advise where a plan for the RNSA 14' could be found.

Apologies for the appalling typing!
