Brian, IMO I wouldn't bother with a "patch" panel such as JCW is offering. I 
think all the "majors" (VB, Moss, TRF) offer original full panels and, with the 
amount of work required and given that any corrosion is likely to have spread 
forward, it hardly makes sense (to me) to do anything less than the complete 
panel (and maybe the filler piece at the front, too).
