Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks / Car Part
German term or phrase: Abschlussblech
Das Wort steht auf eine Reparatur-Kalkulation fuer ein Volvo.

Ich habe "end plate"/"endplate" als Uebersetzung im Internet gefunden. Es scheint trotzdem, es habe wenig mit Autos zu tun.

Nachforschung im Online-Bereich fuer "Volvo Endplate" laesst sich keine definitive Ergebnisse erkennen.

Vielleicht hilft jemandem die folgende Link - die Seite hat Bilder von diesem Ersatzteil (zwar fuer ein BMW). Ich brauche nur die richtige Version im Englischen.

English translation:end plate
Explanation:
We do a lot of translations for Daimler and we use 'end plate' or 'end panel'.
This pertains to body work on hollow channels. They are closed at the ends to keep out dirt and moisture. They are not necessary prefabricated parts. They may be simply a piece of sheet metal cut to size at the shop and welded to the end of a hollow channel.
