Fitting Traveller aluminum front quarter panel

[splitscreen]

I understand from ESM that their reproduction front quarter panel doesn't have the lip at the bottom where it fits against the wooden sill as my original panel does.
Without this I'm finding it difficult to get the new panel to sit easily within the wood frame. Is this how reproduction panels are now made and does anybody have any tips on fitting?

Mine came from Steve Foreman at Woodies three or four years ago, don't know where he sourced them from. Not a great photo, but think you can see the lip you are looking for.

It would be very easy for a local sheet metal shop or good resto company to put the fold in your new panels,

It would only take a minute or two for both, but I would suggest take your old alloy panels with you to give them the angle and position of the fold, and remember they are handed ....

Don't know where you are based but if your anywhere near Sevenoaks in Kent stop by and I'll put the folds in for you.

Thanks for the photo Mark - yes I can see the folded lip which is the same as I have on my old panel. Interesting when I contacted Steve Foreman they didn't have any in stock and suggested I try ESM.

And thanks for the offer Tim.
