Quoted from o-din:

They are super easy to make. PBResource sells the material, and a good sharp pair of scissors can cut it. I use a small punch to start the holes and a drill to finish them on a block of wood.
Do that before you cut them and use a good heavy glove to hold it still while drilling the holes as it is sharp material.

Word to the wise: don't use scissors to cut blue "flap" steel. The sheet will curl slightly as you cut and you'll never straighten it. Instead, use a heavy duty paper cutter and you'll make nothing but sharp, straight cuts with no curling. Then use a Dremel tool to round the corners to match the original; I held the corner gently against the edge of a cut-off wheel to shape it and it worked like a charm. Here's a link to the flaps on my Jackbot ramp, these are the first flaps I ever made after very little practice:

Also, a sheet metal punch is great for the holes. I got this one from Amazon and it's dirt cheap, plus no need to worry about cutting yourself during drilling:
