I lost the front right pizza pan cover in the past ~24 hours.

I didn't notice when it fell off, so I will be making a new one -- they sent me 5 pizza pans, and I had to buy another 4 pack of plastic covers. I think I will try TWO wire retention rings?

Until I make that, I'm using one of the 2 remaining stainless steel domes -- the steel finger are failing and the darn thing squeaks constantly as I drive. It is quite noisy -- the steel wheels and 50PSI Nokian H's must flex a fair bit?

This is getting old...
