It might be worth asking Dave @ www.forgebeartanks.com
He certainly did sell them and may well have one gathering dust in the back of a drawer.
If not you could ask someone with a printer.

Most often is "possibly 8O
Good morning,
why not make one again with plastic card? otherwise the solution remains, make the upper chassis removable, with a magnet system, see on the forum, some have done it, and completely block this hatch with a piece of plastic of the right thickness, thus no more risk of loss :thumbup:

Are you in the Yoo Kay?

Are you bothered about it looking a bit like it was used as a paint palette?

I had a spare in a box of bits I once acquired.
You now have first refusal.

I was originally thinking, how would anyone have a spare, then I thought, hold on, I might lol, turns out I did.
Never ceases to amaze me what some of us have kicking around lol.
