Thread: County door lining

Watching with interest...

My current plan is either to swap to defender doors/trims or make new trims from thin mdf and marine carpet.

Someone on here made new door trims out of chequerplate. Seems reasonably straightforward as long as you have lift up door handles.

Try Peter at Range Parts Company Sydney.He recently had some on ebay for about $165 I think.

Also watching with interest, but my plan is to use thin aluminium with vinyl stuck on - reason for using metal not mdf is that it is going to be easier to make the shaped edge at the front.

It wouldn't be that hard to remove the old one & make a template & cover it with Vinyl from Clarke Rubber.
I will be doing that - or Aluminium - with my rear door.

Rear Door is easier - its flat. And will almost certainly be the first one I do.

Maby i should have a go at making some alloy ones seeing i have a spare set of fronts sitting in the shed and me being a sheet metal worker i cant see it being all that hard

Well it should be flat, except the PO of my 110 welded bracing to the door which interferes with the trim...
