I can't remember where I got those nice heater hole covers for the engine sheet metal and I need a few more.
Never had luck with the search function- Help! TIA |

I cut up soda cans and RTV them on, nice and silver inside, the can bottoms have a cool convex surface, etc. I have one engine surround with a "pop" soda can cover that's must be 30 years old and still looks good. I glue them from the bottom greasy side up, from the top it looks like a cool aluminum plug.
I know it sounds ghetto but it works, looks good, removable and is better than leaving an open hole. |

I am surprised you did not glue on a hockey puck to cover the hole. eh ? |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) One guy on the bird took that one step further and bolted his hockey pucks to the lift donuts on his 911. |
