Are you talking about the area cut out of the rear of the inner panel of the wheel well to provide clearance for the larger tires?

Here's the "trap door" from one of mine...
It helps clear the fat tires, but there's always a story behind each of these mods so hopefully Rick will comment on this.

Perhaps you'd be able to cut a new piece from semi-flexible plastic to the shape of the original...

The Wheelhouse Outer Patch was made because of the larger tire and wheel combination used on the vehicle. During jounce and rebound of the suspension the tire hit the production wheelhouse outer, so we simply cut out the area that it was hitting and replaced it with this ABS vacuformed panel. What I have pictured is a vacuform tool I made previously; this is not the production tool but it will make production quality parts.
If there is a demand for this part I will make several sets and sell them but I need to make several components or the set up charge will be cost prohibited. If you want me to make parts please reply to this thread (price will be based on demand). I promise I will ask for a fair price. Just because it is for a GNX I will not take you to the cleaners. Please respond if you want me to make parts, the more of a commitment I get the cheaper it will be. Regards Rick

Seems these pieces would be just as
appropriate & useful for any TR using
larger tires than the factory Eagle GTs.

(And extrapolate that to also
include use on some other G-bods.)

Be nice to have more front tire clearance.
