Default What to use for covering the access hole?

For those of you that cut the access hole for the fuel pump, what did you use to cover it back up? Already searched too...

Thanks

Well good buddy, just head over to Home Depot racer supply, go to the metal fabbing section(towards the middle of the store@ Eubank)

There you will find some sheet metal of various thickness. Get a good match, go home and either pop rivet it to the cut out, and seal with the metal ducting tape, or before you rivet it down run a bead of sealant around the opening, then rivet it for a leak free seal. After too many times of me drilling out the rivets, I now just seal it back up with the aluminum ducting tape and call it a day.

I used some sheet metal then took some weather stripping and put around the edges. I then took some short screws and screwed it down so I could take it off again if needed.
