It came with the bus Si, Had a couple of spare ones but sold them on ebay.Ere Buster where'd ya get that drop plate from??
You may very well be right, I filled up today and laid it on the pump. I didn't forget it but easily could have. I had tried a bunch of different glues on the cover and nothing holds. I just went out to the garage and tested something. I drilled a hole on the inside top and stuck a cord through. This would work if your worried about forgetting it. I think it would work better on the bottom in the center (thicker lip) and if the cord is thin enough shouldn't affect the seal.

Otherwise - finally found an acceptable (and only) way to print on the thing - Hot Branding. Just did the first covers - hot off the press. What do you think?

They look great, will you be selling the branded ones on ebay soon as i will definetely order...Mark
If you want my opinion, the fuel filler recess plate is complete bollox. why do you really need one? I dont need one. Not in mud, snow or sand. The fuel cap is sealed so you wont get water/dirt/mud ingress. Its F^%&ng pointless really. Just another piece of unfunctional crap for people to stick on their landy's. Does no-one think this? or are you all blindsided by the fact its a new idea?
i would however like to see the same thing for the rear door handle recess as fesh fesh sand in the sahara has blocked up the barrel and hindered the lock mech. That would be more functional than what you have got now.
Sorry, just being honest

eh? yes the rear door. I dont know what you call the turbulent vortex effect thingy but the sand gets sucked from underneath the moving vehicle up the back door and in. Due to landy crap seals i found an inch of fine sand up against the bulkhead on the drivers side when we got home. like a mini sand dune![]()
the rear lock is suseptible to sand/dirt getting in. We did cover it with gaffer tape in the worst areas etc. but it still wasnt the most effective solution.

I was out today and snapped a few pictures that I put together in a collage.
It is two degrees above zero, raining and absolute gloomy. This is why I came up with the idea for the cover and how much it really helps me on a daily basis
This is part of our two km driveway.

Defendoor, can i get a tester cover for the rear door please?glad you have extended it from the recess over the lock barrel. Hope its a snug fit.

Here's mine fitted. No mud got past it.
Even when wading with a side current it stayed on.
Nice pics and glad it worked. You don't happen to have a close up that I could add to the site?
why do you have to have such a sharp radius - looking at the one fitted to a door,, there is plenty of room to make it larger or to have larger radiuses.
I don't, but I'll take one for you.![]()

I think this is the radius that you are talking about. This is a really rough cut cover but I have to cut the corner at the edge of the recess. Arrows show the edge that flaps back and forth and is therefore weak.
I would appreciate it. One with water flowing over it would be great but how the hell could you position yourself. I still have people telling me that it will get knocked off but no one that has had it knocked off.
