an m41 bomb fins

Hi, are the bomb tail fins available for the little m41 fragmentation bombs?

I have a nice inert relic m41 but missing the tail, was found minus both its nose and tail here on a former base in the uk luckily no tnt so just a hollow but complete body, I have relic front nose and rear to put on to make a nice museum display piece but unlikely to find a tail....


Any detailed drawings with measurement would be great , better still if anybody has one they would like to sell all the better.
 
There was also a tail assembly that used a parachute pack in a metal container.
 
As John mentions above, the parachute pack is likely the way to go. I don't think I've ever seen a set of fins by themselves, but I've seen maybe 6-7 parachute packs in the past couple of years.
 
Thanks for the reply's guys, think i will use the diagram posted to fabricate a new tail section as this is what it would have had on it originally.
