Wales 2007 Defender 90 Other CSW Trident Green
Defendoor Fuel cover no longer as rare as hen's teeth
Made by Defendoor in the Czech Republic, as it was a simple modification to counter the disadvantages of the recessed filler neck without a flap. Since the Czech company and its product unfortunately no longer exist, and there is still a lot of need for fuel covers for the Landy, So Nakatanenga have teamed up with the specialists from TREKFINDER and revived the product. Sold on eBay for a good price

Now available on eBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/187060821736

Looks good. Could probably do with having a retention strap attached to the inside of the filler recess so that you don't drive off and leave it sitting on the fuel pump..

I had two of the originals, first one was lost, the second came off even though it was tethered.

They are pretty decent, but I didn’t bother with any again, inevitably they seem to grow legs or vanish driving along. ____\We|Will|Win/___

They do help to prevent rust on the seams of the filler recess. Though probably more of a cosmetic appearance. For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..

They prevent the filler recess from filling with mud on Defenders that are used as intended. Very Happy

They could deflect a stick going in there from a hedge, but likely take it out with it too ____\We|Will|Win/___

You can print them as well with rubbery plastic. A friend printed mine.
