Herald handbrake fibre board cover

I was going to replace mine, but didn't in the end. I thought about using greyboard, which looks similar. I rather like Peter's suggestion of using PVA to reinforce it. Equally, you could glue two thinner pieces together as you fix it in place, effectively creating a laminate. The thickness of greyboard is usually measured in microns, i.e. 1000 = 1mm, so 750 - 1500 might be about right.

Hi all,

Thanks for the replies.

I have two Heralds and in theory should have two covers, one cover is from the complete Herald which is good and can be used as a pattern.

As I am writing this I hope I have the old millboards from the one I am restoring, I can even remember where I stored them so I know where to look but think that they went in last clear out.

Thanks again.

Steve

RrectHi All,

What I thought were Millboards were old rear 1/4 trim panels.

They are hardboard, but are OK for what I want,I will put them in water to make them soft and then bend them to the correct profile and then either varnish or PVA them.

Thanks for all the replies.

Steve
