Where to get a replacement lid?

[Al-1150]

My lid came off my 41L case this morning where it was promptly flattened by an artic.

Anyone have a spare lid for an original 41l Touratech pannier?

Or

Does someone have a smashed case with a good lid who wants a bargain lidless case.

Tried a panel beater, the did their best but there was no saving it.

I know there must be a lid out there somewhere looking for a case.

Just bash it back in to shape, it’s patina

It's been bashed, won't fit unfortunately.

Use a lump hammer as a dolly to hammer against, go a bit at a time, aluminum is very malleable

I bet there are loads of lads on here that would love to have a go tapping that lid back into shape

I love that sketch. I’d like to have a go at that lid. Lump hammer and a little ball pien. JJH

That looks very repairable to me as per leadfarmer.

I've been filled with renewed confidence so will give it another bash when I get home

If you have a couple pieces of timber 2" x 2" or so and a flat surface (piece of plywood or a bench) might help form the corners. Small steps. Good luck and post your efforts

Twas but a scratch, with the support and confidence from you guys I hammered it back to shape.
The patina looks good

Looks pukka now, and you won’t care if you scratch it again

Better than a panel beater. Although I can understand why he didn’t take it on. JJH

Cheers lads, a few stickers and I'll forget there was anything there.

Don’t forget to latch it properly JJH

Nice job. Blob of translucent silicone on the tie holes to seal it or maybe the collective can come up with a better solution. Keep the kitchen roll handy when working with silicone.

Bash it better... Love your work sir, that's exactly what I would have done, now it looks far better...

Well done,
now put in some safety measure to prevent it happening again.
Some steel cable and clips, done!
I did this few years ago exactly for that reason, easy to set up and take off if needed.

 

[leadfarmer]

Yep, they’re fitted as standard to later boxes

That's a bloody great idea
