Hi James, thanks for your comment and I will take up you're Idea except I will rivet a couple of coins in there and a small plaque with some details of my resto on it

Thanks for the tip.
I got my rubber for the basket top and been busy fitting it. It is a necessary covering to have I would have thought. I will need to put the odd pin hole in it and inject a bit more adhesive under it as it has a tendency to move when riveting down.
