mantaray Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Try and get another one. First new one I've seen in years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanG Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Think I will have a go at making one while mine is still in one piece as a template. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mines in 3 bits but I'm definitely going to have a go at making one for the cost of millboard. I think about £30-40 last time I checked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutty2006 Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 I gave my mint one to someone in the club to be reproduced but nothing came of it. Nor did I get mine back…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessopia74 Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 What are these made of? Compressed card? The silver coupe us mint and I would be happy to help get a pattern done. I might message the chap,on FB that has done a Sterling job if making headlining for all manner of cars based on a single good example. Perhaps the club could use some funds to get them made for reselling to the club members, alongside the panels 💁 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mepbowles Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 I'm pretty sure this is the stuff. At only £20 you could f*** up about 5 times and still be quids in https://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/p-1648-millboard 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessopia74 Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 Stuff arrived, very well packaged but rolled up, so will take a few days to flatten out. It’s a smooth finish in comparison to the mottled effect on the OEM. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evo3000 Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 (edited) Lol you can clearly see in the first post thats a reproduction item, so you may as well make one up yourself anyway,which will be better than the original effort. Then spend what you save on the hideous cost of fuel nowadays😆😎 Edited July 5 by evo3000 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irmscher Man Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Funnily enough, I’ve spent the last few evenings tracking down different thicknesses of Millboard so I can get cracking with these. I’d be interested in how thick the Millboard is from Woolies. If it is a good alternative, I may order some for the club shop and get some tank covers made up and take them along to Sywell. I have a decent cover in my i200 that I can use as a template. I’m fairly near to Peterborough but what with the cost of petrol, it’s still probably cheaper to get it sent! I’ve also got a brand new radiator tray although I doubt whether this Millboard is thick enough for making those up. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickfrad Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Just down the road from me if you need anything picking up for delivery to sywell on the Sun. As long as it fits in the back of the Manta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the bend creases stamped or something? I was wondering if a bead roller would do them 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering if a bead roller would do them 🤔 I reckon they are stamped, so a bead roller might do the trick. Simon and I have been looking at getting at how expensive it would be to get tooling made up to stamp the radiator cards. Would probably need to be about 4mm thick to replace the original. Most Millboard I’ve found is 2.5mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
