Default S3 Diagnostic Port Cover

Hey, has anyone in the S3 camp fabricated a cover for the idle control diagnostic port? Looking for ideas.
My cap decomposed several years ago and last time I asked it was NLA.
It's kinda a damn eyesore at this point.

Same part is on later 944s if you can find one in a junkyard.

Thanks Ken.

This is how the fabrication turned out.
The back of the aluminum plate has a silicone pad to make sure there would be no metal to metal contact that might jump the ports.

Look up Lart's Porsche Parts on ebay.
He should have a few million of these things available

Would he sell it if he knew it would end up on a 928?

That part should be relatively easy to make on one of those Plastic 3D Printers, yes?

iIf you tell him its for a 928, he'll probably mark it up 200%.
