Material is most likely 2024 T3 like all Cessna Al parts.
Can be ordered from online metals.
Do you have a thickness??
This has to be bent on a radius or it will crack.
Best way to do the bend is bend a piece of .63 (5051) on the bending brake. (this makes a radius finger to bend the 2024 without cracking it)
Leave it on the brake and then make the bend of 90 degrees.
Make your flat pattern a little longer to accommodate the bend.
It will make a nice strong bend.
You cannot use a standard brake without the bent .63 .
