Paul, the grooves look to be symmetrical. I would look for a router bit
close to the shape. Set up a fence and route out the groove. $20 for a bit is a
lot less than $325 for new. A plastic supply shop might be able to make new
ones also.

on a LF38
Hi,
I need to replace the lens on the little hatches in the galley and head. I
believe these are Atkins & Hoyle model 550 single frame hatches (discontinued).
Does anyone know of a reasonable source for new lenses? I contacted A&H and
they want $325 for a single lens. Or has anyone made their own replacement
lenses? For the most part they look like 1/2” grey acrylic 15-1/4” x 8” with
a routered gasket groove on the inside. Making the groove would seem tricky.
