Don,
The remains of my now discarded PA body had a very thin plywood cladding
beneath the steel panel just in front of the door. But it was really thin
(3 ply at most) with the leaves being very much thinner than you see these
days. I don't recall the body frame being rebated to take the ply either.
I'd be interested in details of the the fixings for the trafficators if
anyone could e mail me or send a sketch. Incidentally, Bryan Purves is
planning a batch of replica complete trafficators - he had a trial sample on
display at Silverstone in July this year. His www site is
http://www.bryanpurves.co.uk/ or contact him on Brypurves@aol.com (usual
disclaimers.....)
Regards
Dick Morbey PA0743
