Thanks Kirsty for the link to the lushproject stuff, not overly technically minded when it comes to van maintenance as my speciality is fixing airplanes!!!! I'll probably ask someone local here for a hand with it, which are the best blanks to get please?

I've seen him crop up on the forum once in a while, but I don't think he made very many of those, collectors items
Give Allan's in Plymouth a shout for the blanks, only £12 for the two flat blanking plates I think, link on the main site home page. If you look on the second link I posted it points you at the factsheet in the members area - with photos

If you do get the blanking plates from Allan, they come with fitting instructions and photographs of the actual job/pipes etc, so you won't need to search for other photos.
