    I made my own easily enough. 2mm chequer plate, use the old card as a template (the chequer plate will need to be a few mm smaller actually) and then some self-tapping screws to secure in place Mine even has a fold down table

    You can use the original cover as a template - I bought some external trim clips and reproduced the holes from the original cover - that way I don't have to drill any holes. I also used a router to cut out a flat section and refitted the storage bin using the original screws - took a long time and was fiddly but I thought "what the heck, I'm not paying someone an hourly rate to get it done"

    Cheers,

    Franz
