Default anyone make hinge pin covers?

I deleted both trim senders in my drive & was curious if anyone made a cover that screws on in place of the sender to cover up the hinge pin. Figured I would ask before I made some.

Thank you

Seems like they were cheaper than this at our local supply in GR, but I think thats what you are looking for.

I was thinking just a flat plate that screwed in place of the sender..polished stainless or aluminum, that's what I planned on trying to make if there was no such thing to be bought. Thanks for the link also

Two dummy senders for probably 15.00 to the door sure is easier.

It would be. But the unit being custom painted silver the black pucks would not look so hot, going for the clean smooth look.

That's cool. If you someone who works in a machine shop, the possibilities are almost endless.
