Hi Tristan,
I have searched everywhere and every lead i came across to find the same thing for My 1960 sportline. Unless you are lucky enough to find some second hand i doubt you will have any luck. Pattern still seems to be available overseas but as yet i havnt found a cost effective way to import.Best of luck with you're search.

Hi Tristan - did you have any luck? I'm after a piece myself, or maybe even just a patch for my little van

Nah I just ended up pannel beating the dents out as best I could and filled any holes with some gap filler ment for roofing. Looks a little crappy in some places but it's the best I could do.

G'day All, just a note of caution when looking for replacement cladding...

A year ago a forum member was looking for replacement cladding for the lower wrap-around rear end of his 1966 Viscount Ambassador van. After finding a donor van of the same model and year, he carted the cladding home and checked it against his van - only to discover it was an inch or so narrower. You can read his story down the page here.

It's worth checking the actual width of your van and making sure any donor cladding is the same width (or wider). Don't just assume it'll be a perfect fit.

cheers,
Al.

I need a front lower panel for my 11ft valiant that has a few nasty patches on it. Cant upload a photo as it says the forum has exceeded its limit - anyone know why this is?
