Aluminium door scoop (or somthing like)
Turbo Mini Forums

Right ive spent the last hour serching with no joy.

On my rear bulkhead the top fuel line fitting that goes in the tank foul's on it so ive had to cut a hole in it but now i need to cover the hole with somthing.

Idealy id like ally but supose somthing fiberglass/carbon would do, it needs to be around the same size and depth as a mini door scoop.

Any ideas ? ? ? ? ?

ps I could use a door scoop but the ally door skins are £45 wich is way too much to cut up, am sure there is somthing out there

What about one of those handle escutcheons available from a go faster shop for not much cash? Same profile as the divot in the door where the handle is.

What Tom said, or maybe a sandbag and a hammer on a bit of ally plate?

I had thaught of that but there stainless and have two cut outs in them for the door handle.

It might have to do though

Do you mean like this, http://www.carbonweezel.co.uk/products.html Carbon Door Handle Scoops - £30 pair?

That would be good, i might have to pm him and see if the has any seconds

cant be hard to shape a bit of ally to be perfect for the job you need it for...

Give me a shout if you get stuck, Ill knock somet up for you and pop it in the post

I seriously doubt it!

Depending on whether you can "find" a door that someone's willing to let you have a go at fibreglassing...

Lay down a few layers of Beeswax on a door escutcheon, quick splash of release agent and then make yourself a door escutcheon mould. Wax up the mould and keep popping out new escutcheons till the cows come home! And pehaps sell them on for £20

I got all my f/g stuff from a place called CFS; http://www.cfsnet.co.uk/acatalog/Woven_Glassibre_Cloths.html

Might be a lot more effort than it's worth to be honest, but it's an option for future work I guess!

ally + hammer = job done
