As the Van's build manual says, wheel pants "lead a hard, hard life". My nosegear wheelpant has gotten a bit abused around the hole where the tow bar goes on (not by me...always by some gorilla at an FBO grrrr), and I'd like to just cover them with something like a metal bezel that I can snap in.
I'm thinking something like the snap-in hole covers (e.g., the one on the firewall for the nosegear bolt access), but larger OD and ideally with a hole in it. In other words, a beauty trim ring or bezel. But I'm having a freakin' hard time finding any that quite meet the specs:
ID 1"
OD 1.5"
I've tried Mcmaster-Carr and other sources, and I don't mind cutting hole in the middle of one if I need to, but I can't find what I'm looking for.
Any suggestions? Some sort of pushbutton bezel or something?
*Eventually* I'll deal with the bits of damage to the fiberglass, and have it repainted, but I just don't want to deal with that right now.
Appreciate any suggestions!
