I hope some one might remember who was making fuel doors for the defenders?

Pretty sure they are no longer available. AULRO did a group buy many years ago

Well there you go, I read on a U.K. Facebook page they were not being manufactured anymore and what distributors had were the last.

Off to research, although I'll only leave them on the bowser like did with the previous two

I should have done this mod but figured I would leave them behind

Have you tried ebay? Certain I have seen them available in the last month or so.

Maybe a group buy or one of the vendors could place a bulk order which would encourage the manufacturers to get busy.

They were very popular last time there was an AULRO Group Buy and we even had the option to get them with the AULRO logo on them. And IIRC that was prior to or soon after the introduction of the Puma so there must be a lot of Deefers running around without them .................. including Weeds who, it appears, will need to buy a dozen or so.

Had to laugh. My wife has left hers on the pump 3 times now and we’ve recovered it each time (thanks to AULRO friends)..

I printed a label and stuck it in the recess that says very boldly “Put the cover back on”

What's wrong with the fillers as God made them?

'4x4 Overlander' in the U.K. are trying to get more made up with the OEM, who are under relatively new management... one or two difficulties apparently.
