Anyone know where to get these from?
Checked locally and no one has anything similar enough to use.

Also, the embossed suzuki on the back gate is damaged

. apart from Carry utes, is there anything else that has suzuki embossed that i could weld in. otherwise it'll just be ZUKI written on the back

Edit:

Found these to suit a landrover but at 55$ each, i'd need to make sure they fit

looking at the google, i'd say most well body lux's had that style of latch.

could you cut the ZUKI bit out & centre it & then fill the gap either side?

Yeah I could. I'm not the greatest welder so i'm worried about making it look worse if I try to move it...

Its a shame you are doing this now. I have the same issue with my tray, and will be making replica sides for mine in the new year. The rear panel will have a shadow boxed 'SUZUKI' cutout with LED backlighting. Hard to explain, but its the rice equivelant to embossing. :wink:

I just checked my spare tailgate. The only letter that is damaged is the 'S' :cry:

Otherwise I would have cut it out for you.

They look the same as the clips that hold soft top windscreens in place,
worth looking at wrecks, see if they are.

I just went out and had a look, the handles are a fair bit shorter on the tray* but it could work!
