September 15, 2025Sep 15 Does anyone know of a source for these lids . They seem a bit expensive to get from Vickers web site plus probably a bit of a wait . My boat is a D6 and uses the same as the Vickers. Now problem solved Edited October 7, 2025Oct 7 by John Sharman Topic resolved

September 17, 2025Sep 17 Author Yes we do use Ghee and tried one Gordon and it’s too big .The lids need to clip onto a 95mm diameter lip for the D6.
September 17, 2025Sep 17 I got a 100mm lid from Vintage Food Cans on Etsy but I can't find a 95mm one. I searched for food can lids and pot lids and found some 95mm but they were for coffee cups and the like. Vickers could have had some specially made?

PM me if you are still looking for one
