I know it is hard to come by but I am looking for some diamond pattern aluminium from the 60's.
So it you are wrecking a van rather than restoring please let me know. Needed for resheeting a section of a 7' wide van.

G'day young Ken,  No, I don't have any Ali sheeting for you, but I always remember the story of forum member "viscountofmydomain" finding a donor sheet of ali from supposedly the same model Viscount Ambassador, only to find the sheet was about an inch narrower than what he needed (see his story here ). And so the moral of the story is to double-check whether any donor sheet is really the width you want, before rushing out with a trailer to pick it up. Best of luck with your hunt. cheers, Al. |

G'day ole Al, once again I thank you for your wise advice  I realise that i am searching for the needle in the haystack but if Murray can find the last Sunliner door handles then I have a chance:)) By the way I am looking for flat sheet of diamond pattern aluminium without a profile. 6'12" Wide Koala |

How long? I don't have any but thought I would ask for clarification. |

There was a post here recently about new sheeting in the diamond pattern, I have had a search but haven't found it.

Hi, I am seeking diamond pattern ceiling panels for my 1960s Roma. I have a small remnant section and I believe my remaining panels are made from some kind of masonite or compressed chipboard. I would love to restore the ceiling to its original glory. If anyone on this thread has a breakthrough in finding a good replica I would be thrilled to hear about it. Here is link to the original remnant in my van. i349.photobucket.com/albums/q378/PiaMia15/20170412_140936_zpsirlinkgw.jpg Pia |
