Checker Plate

Hi Greame, i don't know about ready made panels, but if you've got a Commercial Vehicle (HGV) body builder in your area they should have or be able to get hold of checker plate, they may have 'off cuts' that they could let you have cheap(ish), they may also cut it to size for you.

Thanks chaps......

........thanks chaps - now managed to source some from a local metal merchant who for £25 cut and shaped it - picking it up later - will let you know how good a job he did.

Any veiws expresed in this thread by me are purely from my own experience, and (sometimes) falible memory. Hope my comments help, but please don't take them as gospel.

Well that's........

......a very interesting/kind thought however, it's not actually the sills themselves, it's just the paint and a little rust along the egdes that is causing offence. Other than that she's sound. Thanks anyway. I'm now investigaing places on the web who cut and bend to shape.
