Interior panel templates for the rear

Post by mshaw1980 »

Hello

I want to make interior plywood panels using blind fittings rather than having screws or panel clips on show. Any bright ideas how to do this? Does anyone have any template measurements? Fanx

:ok

You can have clean fronts by using L plates or wooden/plastic blocks and screws on the inside of the panels.

What type of interior do you want to make. My Leisuredrive interior is out of the van while the bodywork is underway so I can take measurements if that would help.

Thanks for making me look at the van as I bought it before I started the restore :)

I’ve used super sticky self adhesive hook-and-loop tape relatives successfully on the flat panel below the rear windows on the passenger side. The sliding door panel - it curves so I had to use screws :-(

Ah, looks like I may have misunderstood the question.

I used fir tree clips bought from eBay,I ground the heads pretty flat so wouldn't leave a bulge in the carpet which was glued over the ply panels perfect for t25 panels.
