I read somewhere how this guy used an old kettle to boil some water and use
the steam to gently 'mould' the masonite. This was to mould a panel covered
with carpet to a wheel arch.
Maybe this might help !
Dunno what a tr7 interior looks like, but while I was redoing the MGB interior
I used a coping saw to cut the masonite ... then again I only had flat surfaces.
Hope this helps...
