Hi people Has anyone used the door card covers by JF customs advertised in eBay and the interweb. Want to know if they're a good fit or am I better off getting my Trimmer to re-do them. Cheers
Len.

Have you considered re-trimming the door cards yourself? I re-trimmed almost the whole of my P5B myself last year except the headlining and I am pleased with the result. It took a while but it kept me - and therefore also my dearly beloved - relatively sane during the lockdown!
Re-trimming the door cards was relatively straightforward. The only issue I had was the lack of a suitable sewing machine so I had to hand stitch everything. I obtained my PVC from Woollies and I think JRW are also able to supply it. You will also need a staple gun and some very short staples (3mm I think). I found that three of my existing cards were sufficiently good to be re-used. The fourth card was rotted beyond further use so I made a new one from marine ply of the right thickness. I drilled 1mm dia holes for the stitches using a Dremel - it took a long time but a methodical approach, a home-made jig and a good deal of patience produced the goods. Worth a go if you feel able.

Hi to be honest, no I just don't have the time. I was hoping to save my Trimmer some time by supplying the covers, hence the question to see if anyone had bought some and wether they were a good quality/fit. But good on you for doing it yourself, well done. I'm wondering if I've put this thread in the wrong place? If anyone thinks I might get more replies elsewhere on the pro boards please if you can move this.
Cheers Len
