Hi Bob, not sure about the Highwayman but Harvey's wooden bulkhead was made out of what looked like 1/8'' veneer faced plywood tacked to a timber frame that itselfe was screwed to the metal work, the panel pin holes had been covered by a dab of wood filler to hide them. I replaced the lot with ply from B&Q and mixed stains to try and get a good match.

Marine ply from BandQ to keep things water proof, they do it in several sized boards and thicknesses, some of it is finished with a proper wood grain.
I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal labottomy!

Thanks guys,will look into it.
Removed some of the rotten wood,and now the corner has come apart,so was thinking of using some aluminium angle and riviting it to the corner with some silicon sealant between to waterproof the join,is this the way to go or is there a better/correct way to do it.
