Looking to fabricate the interior rear quarter panels and wheel covers on our 1960 BN7. The only thing is, we have no patterns to work with. (The one thing missing on the car when we got it.) Does anyone out there have some patterns for these pieces, or could direct me to someone who does? Thanks.
 
I just finished doing the same thing to my BN6. All I used was a piece of 1/8 hardboard and covered it with vinyl. Fits flat against the inner quarter, with a strip of vinyl transitioning to the soon to be carpet covering the spare tire area and wheel arches. The original pieces (which I have never seen in real life) appear to be difficult to fabricate and even harder to attach. Post if you have luck finding any. Good luck, Bob
 
Aside from buying them already made up (highly reccomended) you can try making them from careful measurements. I would use "door wood" which can be bought from a good lumber supplier. It's only about $12 US for a 4X8' sheet! It's the correct thickness.
What's door wood you say? It's what you use to recover inside doors that your teenager kicked in. Comes in various wood tones.
I did my '60 BN7 from the Moss kit.
Good Luck
