Nickers .. as in door trim panels? I am about to use 3.2 mm white backed masonite, I read somewhere else on here it's Ok. Bought it from my local Bunnings.

Material went on the patterned side.

Had thought of using masonite but seemed to be a bit thick & a bit too rigid to me, I imagined using some sort of 2-3mm 'compressed cardboard' type sheet especially for the scuff/kick panels where you need a bit of flexiablity. Bunnings eh? - Geez we'll be buying cars of then shortly Title: Re: door panels Post by: zulu on June 25, 2005, 11:45:14 AM I used Luan Ply for my door trims, that was last century, back in 1986, think I got it from Mr Ply&Wood or similar.
It's a very thin ply sheet. worked well. Gary Title: Re: door panels Post by: mcl1959 on June 25, 2005, 11:37:31 PM Yep the ply is better to use as it is thinner and more flexible
Masonite is very stiff - even for door panels Ken Title: Re: door panels Post by: Sarge on July 08, 2005, 07:05:03 AM Nickers
