A member of the Quebec Westfalia Club makes the utility covers and sells
them at the grand-rendezvous. The next event is scheduled for June 6-8 in
Drummond Ville, Quebec.

If he is there I will get the contact information and pass it along.

The utility cover is the same shape and colour as the original and uses
Velcro to stay closed.

Cheers,
