Hi all,
Re: the above.
I recently replaced the door panels on my E exactly that way and it
worked perfectly. The product is (was) called Masonite and available
at any (most) building supply places and, as Simon says, at Home Depot.
Use the old panels as pattern, make *sure* when you apply the new
cover (I used leather) that you have the "right" side up!!!! I marked the
back side of each pattern with a big X so I wouldn't put it on the wrong
side (very easy to do) Masonite has a very hard surface and staples may
be difficult to use...I used contact cement.
One important thing to do is to fit, fit and fit it again, making sure all
mounting holes line up before you put on the cover. Especially make sure
that all the door clips are lined up "dry" before you apply the cover.
Good luck!
