The Moss TR2-4A catalog (which you can download from their web site at
http://www.mossmotors.com/ ) has a diagram on how to make the "Door
waist seal tool". It's on page 69 of the copy I have.
Brian Kemp reports he made his from the little plate that you remove
from a PC when you install a new card. Ask any of your 'computer'
friends or at the local shop, they'll probably give you one.

I'd recommend putting back something. Even if your car is never, ever
driven in rain, the door cavities will condense a certain amount of
moisture from the air. The plastic sheet will help keep it from
damaging your door panels. Ask your local hardware store or home center
for "heavyweight plastic drop cloth" (probably in the paint
department). It's cheap, cuts easily with scissors, and works well.
