Does anyone have an unwanted Waeco lid?

Hi Everyone

A couple of days ago I was lucky enough to pick up a brand spanking new Waeco CDF40 fridge for $280....part of an end of line sale. I already have a CCF45 Waeco and this has been a great fridge over a number of years now so figured I couldn't go wrong in buying this one for the price. I intend using this fridge as a freezer and fitting it in my camper but.....it has one of those high hump lids and won't fit. The lit from from CCF45 fits (it is much less of a hump) and the CDF40 will then fit in my campertrailer. Can't just swap lids as this will require a rebuild of my in-car storage system and I really don't want to go down that path.
Now for the question....does anyone out there have a Waeco that has expired, broken, dropped off'n the ute etc and that still has a good lid that will fit? Happy to pay postage etc.

Cheers
Pete

Yep.
Drilled out a bit of the insolation inside and filled it mith minute mend, put a self tapper in it and built it up again. Filled it up neat.

The lid is a longitudinal lift up type that measures 29cm x 46.5cm between centres of the rubber seal. The actual lid can be see at this link

Should be dozens of broken Waeco's out there.
(Sorry, and good luck with the search Pete.)

You're right Tuck, but there would probably be a shortage of good lids as wasn't it the 40 litre model that buckled in the heat? Besides Waeco have an excellent warrenty system for anything broken. Perhaps a trip to an authorized repairer would find a spare lid.
