I realize that good replacement covers for the utility connections are available but I had a brainstorm (or brainfart?) and decided to make my own out a common item found in most homes... http://www.geocities.com/tucson_british_car_register/utility-cover-1.jpg They're pretty simple, no hinge... just stick on with velcro... http://www.geocities.com/tucson_british_car_register/utility-cover-2.jpg If you haven't recognized them yet, here is the final clue... http://www.geocities.com/tucson_british_car_register/utility-cover-3.jpg Obviously they are very light. So far they stay on okay, we'll see how they do at extended highway speed or better yet in a Wyoming cross-wind. Geo Hahn 84 Westy Mt Lemmon, AZ |
