Shane,
I cannot find my parts book at the moment (Jo is away... I cannot find anything) but I think the part number is 91A-16606.
01A-16606-C is the correct size and shape, but has red edging.
Check those numbers in your parts book before ordering.
If I can find my book before hand I will let you know.
Cheers
H

Hello everyone! I don't want to hijack Shane's thread here but I'm re skinning his doors for him and making some hinges as well so I thought this would be the best place to show how I made them.
The hinges are probably quite hard to find but not too bad to make if you've got the tools. I had 2 pieces of 30mm blocks and milled a hole through the centre giving me 2 half round dies. The pin is 1/4" so I welded the pin to some plate to use as the former in the press.

I used the other part of the block to press down the rest of the hinge. I did all the pressings first then into the milling machine to cut the slots then a couple of bends, insert the pin, bit of a grind and that's it.

De skinning the doors were quite easy with the flap disc in the grinder. I simply ground around the edge until I saw the lamination and the skin literally fell off Well almost. I drew around the door and just allowed the extra for folding over.

I put the door blank in the folder and did only 90deg bends as anymore than that and you would lock you're self out. I also gave it about 1-2mm all around so it wasn't too tight. I clamped it to my table and just slowly went around and bent it over. You can't bend it all at once or you will distort the sheet so just follow along and bring it flat including the curves.

And that's about it apart from fitting the hinges.
