[6pack] Tranny tunnel side cover

[David Friedlander]

Hey folks;

I'm about to install new carpeting over my molded plastic tranny cover 
and I realize I haven't provided myself any easy access to the right 
angle speedo or the A-overdrive service access points.  In the Roger 
Williams "How to Restore....." book, page 105 shows  a cover plate 
screwed to the side of the tranny tunnel for easier A-overdrive/speedo 
drive access. I have tried to fashion my own cover plate, realizing it 
doesn't need to be anything fancy -- but, it ought to fit well enough to 
screw to the tranny cover. Sigh.... I am no metalsmith. Anyone know 
where such a cover plate can be had?  Certainly, the Big 3 have nothing 
to offer. Anyone able to offer assistance/advice?

Thanks for any help,

Cheers,
