Did this item work well with your project? What vehicle type are you using this for? I Acquired this Steelcraft boot lid as a replacement for the fibreglass one previously ordered, which I returned because I was unhappy with the quality / finish. Whilst I have not yet attempted to fit the item it appears to bear a good similarity with the original equipment and it was extremely well packaged. For the price though I would have expected better for example: 1) I don't know whether this has been manufactured from the original Triumph tooling press. Perhaps not? 2) The corners (the areas that normally corrode) do not seem perfectly flat and one has a particularly noticeable irregular contour to the touch. I would expect some body shop work to be required prior to achieving a perfectly good sprayed outcome. 3)Unlike the fibreglass equivalent, there is a degree of hinge adjustment available through insertion of a floating threaded steel plate, just like on the original. However those plates seem a little jammed at the moment so will need some persuasion when fitting. 4) If would have been nice to have received information about the protective coating, which does appear to be quite good. For example would it need to be fully removed before application of an epoxy primer ?
