door availability

[dudload]

Hi All,

More a random thought than anything else, but is there any reason new doors aren't available from the big suppliers? Pretty much every other panel seems available (apart from maybe the bonnet) and i thought the suppliers bought all tooling - are they just to cumbersome/complicated?

Outer door skins are sometimes available:-

Because of the cost of the door outer skin it is nearly always cheaper to skin the bottom of the door.

Not all pressing moulds became available when BMC/BL ceased trading.

Henric obtained some of the pressing moulds some of which were eventually taken over by ESM.
