The little bilge access plate in my cabin sole is missing the recessed handle. I see Rockler has a bright brass handle that might work, although I would have to enlarge the recessed area. Does anyone know of an exact replacement source and could you describe the finish on the handle.

Re: CD26 bilge access recessed handle
It is a recessed brass ring, same material as the plate itself. Finger thru the center and lift.....sounds like someone may have left it in the up position and accidently kicked it off....

Nothing is there, just the routed out area where the plate and ring once were.

I'll take a look at it this weekend and let you know if it has a manfacturer's label on it....
