Wish I had more metal-fab experience...that would be a great product to market for first-gen Connie owners...aluminum fit-in lids for the pockets, painted black to match...push them into the pocket recess, and they would stay in snugly, and the entire top would be a lid that opens from inside edge out...

Send me a pic of the pocket from above, with dimensions. I'd bet it would be pretty easy to fab out of a piece of aluminum, a piano hinge, and a simple lock from grainger/lowes/mcmaster.

Aluminum takes paint really well...or even powder coat.

Holy shite, are you serious??  :o
I'll get right on it, tomorrow morning I'll send it to you...getting too dark now, wish I had returned to this thread a long time ago!! Sorry!
Doesn't even have to lock, just as long as it will stay closed when you close it.
Thanks!
