Water pocket lids on the standard size pocket were just a piece of plain 1/8" plate , overlapping the edge of the pocket by about 1/4" . The hinges were very plain items , probably secured by c/s rivets , but c/sunk screws will do very nicely . If it doubles as a footstep , then a piece of old fashioned diamond chequer plate looks good ( as an 'after market' fitting , of course )
