1/4" thick aluminum plate about 1" wide. Drill holes for screws, and use a 1/8" sheet of rubber for the seal.Ed
To measure is to know.

And if you drill a hole in that plate, tap it for 1/4 or 3/8 NPT you can screw a modern style petcock into it.Current:

An old inner tube makes a great rubber gasket for that purpose of sealing off the petcock opening between the plate and the tank .1980 Suzuki GS550E, 1981 Suzuki GS 1100EX all stock, 1983 Suzuki GS 1100EX modified, 1985 GS1150E, 1998 Honda Valkyrie Tourer, 1971 Kawasaki Mach lll 500 H1, 1973 Kawasaki Mach lV 750 H2.Comment

Yep what they said. I use one of the plumbing expanding pipe bungs from Home Depot for the top one (you have to sand red plastic down a bit to fit).1980 GS1000G - Sold
