You know the rare spares ones are plastic Wally? I have several in poor condition and planning to make one good one. Good luck with your search.
Cheers

Forum member Robbo999 was doing some very nice work on the spare wheel doors.

Bruce Robbo showed me one he had done recently. Very thorough job as is the ute he’s restoring. I donated the manual trans tunnel body member out of my van to replace the rusty one in the ute.
I started working on the one you kindly donated but haven’t got far with it. I have a couple of others. They have all had filler applied, including lead and various vintages of bog.
I saw a plastic one on eBay quite recently for $100 or so complete with lock but no key. Rares want $200+ for the Tupperware item so it’s an bargain if you are willing to go plastic.
A good steel one ain’t gunna be cheap if you can find one Wally.
