your going to have to find a local wholesalers for that size mate. might be difficult to find it in black as that size too.

could ring rebel 4x4 Rebel 4x4 - Quality Land Rover Accessories at Discounted Prices- and see what they say. they might have something for you.

dont ask for checker plate , its real name is 5 bar tread plate.
or is it 4 bar?
and dont buy it from anywhere with a landrover sign outside.
its usually industrial flooring specialists that sell it.

i think the black tread plate has been anodised so you might want to ask them.

Forgetec - suppliers of Patterned Stainless Steel & Aluminium Tread Plate

chequer plate IS a bad idea for another reason.........that size, on a roof rack? You might take off, or blow over. At best you'll use more fuel. Wunt ya be better off with wire mesh. You can still walk on it & unless you've some strange need other than a chequer plate fetish, it'll make less difference to the already laughable handling of a Landy than a feck off great black sheet of the unmentionable stuff.

That's a good point. I took my roof rack off and got another 10mph top end. I'd go for welded mesh if I wanted to turn a roofrack into a balcony.

your local sheet metal work fabrication shop will usually keep alum tread plate in stock but it does not come in black you would have to get this powder caoated at a paint shop
