What is this thing called
Have no idea when or where I got this from molder.jpg
I have sat it one pliers to show how it copies shapes. drrr
I am hoping to get a deeper one as in more travel but no idea what its called let alone where to try. Its very hard searching when you dont know what your searching for.I would love to grow my own food, but I can not find bacon seeds

I think it's called a contour gauge. Bunnings, etc sell these.

Definitely a contour gauge. I have only seen them in metal previously and they were narrower again than the plastic version you are showing. A quick look on Ebay for "contour gauge showed 500+ listings but nothing much wider than yours. The sizes quoted referred to length rather than depth. I did only look at the first page so there may be something lurking in the other listings.

300mm of travel?? I don't think that's a thing...
What are you trying to copy? There might be another way to do it

Ute has a custom canopy on, as per pics 2017-10-16 17.41.18.jpg20171016_173708.jpg Hate the tail lights so make a 'glass frame for new ones , plus mold slim reversing lights into top of door.
I would like to have these pre made and slip and glue into place rather than moulding each piece and having a mess for few days.I would love to grow my own food, but I can not find bacon seeds

How about a flexible curve/ruler that you mould to fit? You can get them at officeworks https://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/...-mm-st57160400
EDIT: Or Carbatec if you want one with graduations https://www.carbatec.com.au/marking-...flexible-curve
