Somebody can't remember who, said they would make these if anyone was interested............ I would buy one if they're made, anyone else?

I've found the thread from Pete Mac in search, Pete if you read this are you up for making some?

Guys, I have all the gear, the gel coat for moulds the GRP mat, the resin, wax, release agent etc. but what I didn't have is a cover for the clutch master cylinder nor a way around making one. I had some ideas but the best option would be to take a mould off Quinny's if he is willing. My intention would be to produce moulds for all the hatches/covers and make them available to the Griff/Chimp fraternity. Haven't worked out how that would work yet as I hadn't planned to go into major scale production but I would like to share everything that I get out of this - anything to keep these cars on the road - I also need to finalise how I'm going to fix the hatches.

Quinny, I could PM you my address with a promise not to break it. I am back to Kazakhstan next week for 5 weeks but then could take a mould off your cover as soon as I get back, say 2nd week in December and then get it straight back to you - if I fcensoredk it up (which I don't intend to), then I promise to replace it.

PeteGriff seems to be a bit of a mentor on the production side. Pete, got any better ideas?

Pete

That would work, maybe Fiberon would be willing to make one if enough people were interested, they make Estoril wheel centres

I think that is one piece a dome with a rim attached with screws into rivnuts I would glue a 2mm thick neoprene gasket or maybe a bead of silicone to the underside to seal

Any progress with this? Looks great in the photo.
Last I heard Julian at Fiberon had a prototype and was going to produce some, I'll give him a call next week to get an update
