These yokes as per the pic below - they are battery covers as far as I know but I can't find anywhere that sells them!
I want to get some for under our seats as it looks untidy seeing all the gubbins and battery etc under the seat. Many thanks peeps!

good idea. I was initially planning to paint them as the cab of my van is pretty old school and not as fancy (ie; no carpet!) just rubber and bare white arches lol!

I'm going to stick some sound proofing sheets on and then cover the whole area with some cheap cord carpet.

I saw those but I don't think it's the same thing is it? Last lot of gear I bought from just kampers (rubber door sill mats and arial) was a "pooh" fit and poor quality too! far from OE fitment! :-S
