Cheers Swifty. I know what you mean about the mounting bracket. I might try and make/acquire something in Stainless. I think i know what I'm after and i'll keep a lookout, but the plastic will do for the moment.

ohhh he's getting cheekier!
Fair point about the photos tho. so....
Cut sheet aluminium roughly to shape and drilled fixing holes
Then fitted riv-nuts in the door shells and screwed the alloy in place.
Doing this made it take the curve of the doors, helped along with the big-rubber-ammer
Then i need some way to get to the door release cables, so I've decided to copy the Countach approach and cut two recesses and fit cubby-boxes.
So i marked out roughly the shape i want and then drilled a few big holes to get the snips through
That was roughly cut out with the tin snips
Then the final shape was nibbled away with the aviation snips and turned out exactly how i wanted
I also found that Aviation snips are good at trimming fibreglass as well and without causing all of the normal dust and fumes!
Next, the door boxes
