I've searched around a bit, but haven't seen anything like what I'm looking for: a clear round inspection cover. Just like the $5 ACS inspection cover (linked below), but instead of thin gauge aluminum with a spring on the back, it would be clear plastic with a spring on the back. The inspiration is from my Champ. It has an inspection cover for the rear strut attach nut, that I'd like to check on preflight, but never do, because it would mean sliding that metal inspection cover off every time.
Anyone ever heard of such a thing? I'm tempted to just make one out of 1/8" lexan, and mill in a shallow groove to align with the inspection ring. I'd be appropriating the spring design from the existing cover, or possibly even just taking a spring off one of the old covers I've got lying around.
These are the covers I've got on the plane now: http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/cspages/de-nonslipcovers.php
