Out of desperation from the lack of accessories for customising the Thunderbird I was looking to find something to cover up the openings on the front axle. This is what I came up with. Not perfect but it will do while I can find a more suitable solution. You can also see a couple of chrome button covers for the 2 allen screws on the right side of the axle on the lower fork leg.

Thanks Mag and I forgot to mention the cost. $10 all up so even if you can't live with it after a while it was a cheap experiment.
