B Post to Outer Sill Repair/Transition Panel

[Blakes73]

Good morning, I recently bought one for my GT6 Mk3 project, I think it might have been made for a John Dere Tractor, its a country mile away from fitting my GT6 that's for sure. I appreciate that reproduction panels quite often need work but this would need cutting in four and piecing in to give it any chance.

Has anyone purchased a panel that is somewhere close or could recommend a supplier?

Fitchetts' were always renowned for good panels, might be worth a call?

Thanks for this, a very helpful chap at the other end of the phone but unfortunately they only supply the full B Post which is a bit excessive as mine's perfect until the last 30mm or so before the joint with the outer sill.

All b post related repair sections I bought when working on my Spitfire were poor in various ways… If you post a photo of exactly which bit you’re talking about I can probably give you some suggestions about making a section yourself.

Thanks Josef, its the bottom of the outer B post, the point at which it meets the outer sill. I've since purchase the full outer B post panel, I intend to just cut off the bottom 150mm or so to replace the rotten transition section.
