Door Card Clips

[andydna]

Hi all

Just about to produce some door cards for skye and wondering if anyone has usefull hints and tips for producing etc.

My idea so far is to use 3mm ply, then cut and drill using remains of present cards as templates. Then glue fine skye blue carpet on the top of ply (mostly for sound deadening). This is dependant on coming up with a suitable way of edging the ply and carpet. I will need new door card clips as I've destroyed most of the old ones, whilst fixing and lubricating locks, fitting weatherstrips and 2nd user quaterlights.

(Where can I get door card clips from?)
(How would you edge ply with a carpet veneer?)
(Is there a better solution?)

The above is only an provisional plan, so any advice greatly appreciated.

Ta, Andy

You could always cover the front in vinylette and the rear with the carpet for the sound deadening

Thanks for the top tips.

Buying door cards would be a bit cheque book for me, I'm saving that for the nightmares I keep having about rust, and that word "rods". I want to have a go at completing as much myself as possible. Seeing the pictures of the roof olympian made me sleepless. The confidence of the new owner is fantastic. The last time I welded resembled a racing pidgeons cage!

I have been advised you can get leather sewing needles for thin carpet, will be usefull for the floor as I have a layer of rubber then carpet (which needs edging). This has dramatically reduced the road noise in the cab, and looks great.

Can I have a Beige star please
