    You should still be able to find them at an Electrical shop or check online there should be something showing you where you can buy or find those type of blank Plates.

    We just take a PVC cover, cut it ot fit on the inside old isolator cover and seal it with white silicon.

    It looks' like you have afew challenges there with the gas stove
    Comments are my opinion, unless regulations are attached to support the comment. This is social media, not a court room.

    Get your DB manufacturer to bend or cut a plate to fit will be the quickest

    Sheesh one day I'll be big enough to have a DB manufacturer hahaha. : )

    Honestly not a bad thing as then you can design one that has enough neutral bars and access and all for much easier use.

    Good idea - thank you.
    Yup, gas guy does a CoC on one gas bottle and appliance for R1500 in 10 minutes. Electrician is expected to inspect the whole installation taking several hours, for the same amount

    I don't see anything illegal on that installation. Both the isolator and socket outlet seem to be more than 200mm from the closest burner or point of gas release.

    @Andrew

    To answer your original question.
    We've always got about a meter length of plastic facia board in the vehicle. The board that the roofing guys use on the edges. They make great covers for those odd size covers that one occasionally needs. Easy to cut and drill and finish the edges off with contractors acryllic.

    Works well and gives a neat finish.
