I can confirm someone was making fiberglass access covers - I have one.
However, when I received the new plastic tunnel from TRF, it already had a
bulge to accommodate the angle drive. I am considering modifying the tunnel
cover, to cut the bulge out, rivet in a backing colar, and then hold the bulge
piece in place with a couple of screws and spire nuts.
Contact me off-list - I may soon be willing to part with the fiberglass cover.
