...Ive a spare hatch; its a bit battered, but if your sectioning it, should be easy to get straight again... don't have a surround; they a bit ark ward to cut out of the t25 - the hinge end, n they are often rotten, as its so close to the back bulkhead...

I cut the surround out of a type25 in the past about 3" the whole way around the hatch, it's a pig of a job and ends up in two pieces.

...I have trev's old surround he describes above - lotta spot welds to be drilled out with this approach, from looking at the panel - you did a good job there Trev, n its well reusable for my bay... another option might be making a surround from L shaped 1.2 mm inch x inch section - the kind you co-incidentally find on 'road works ahead' signs, which is what I had in mind before I got trev's surround...
