Have you tried any HVAC or old sheetmetal shops in your area? Some of them may still have the machines to make some up for you.

I find my barometric damper functions mostly to limit draft automatically when it's very windy and thus prevents over firing of the stove.

With the terrible strong winds here the past few days,i watched my baro being pulled wide open & the magnehelic still showing up to .15 & even higher a few times. Without a baro ,my stack would likely have been red hot.I normally like to see .03 avg on the magnehelic.
