Here is the process for anyone wanting to try. Read the descriptions as the photos were taken of the first ones I did, so some of the process in the images is arse about. Took me 2 and a half hours to make the first 2 and as long again to do the next 6 once I had the steps sorted.
Start by laying tape over a grill tooth, cut around the edges with a sharp knife, peal tape off and stick some card.

Use the card to mark out the width of each piece, leaving at least 15 -20mm extra on the length for wrapping.
Roll each strip over a round object to achieve a large radius that matches the original. (Do the 90 degree bend you see here next.)

Bend the end 90 degrees (AFTER creating the large radius).

Using the original as a form, wrap the stainless around it. The sheet will want to spring back so you need to take it out of the form and squash it a bit along the centre line.
Hammer the edge over carefully. Just has to hold it..

Scribe a line on the end of the sheet to line up with the end of the original.
