From my 70/4....original, but nasty on the back. Unless I've missed it somewhere, I've not seen any door panel resto threads. The backside of the panels are pretty grungy, which doesn't surprise, 'cause when I'd slam the doors closed, foam crap would fall out the bottom.
Suggestions? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) Attached image(s)

Interesting thread. On my 74 BB, there is a clear polyethylene moisture barrier. It has an attached polyethylene flap that is inserted into the lower inner door that shed any water to the door cavity, and not onto the interior upholstered panels. Does anyone else have these plastic sheet door liners?

As a matter of fact I have a NOS one in a bag. [/quote] Cool...It would be great to reproduce these. Given any consideration for making a pattern from your NOS part or would you lend it to me to make a pattern? It does look like rubber cemetn that holds them to the door. A waterbased glue would not last very long... |

I use dilute white glue by the gallon in my model railroading hobby to hold all sorts of things, with no visiblity. Nice thing about it is, if you want to change something you just spritz it with water & it comes loose. Not something I want to happen to my 914 vapor barriers. Now, we ALL have old barriers & DaveP has a virgin one that could be used as a pattern for new. Hell, you could make new ones from just about anything heavier than dry clean plastic. I'd like some new ones, just because mine have been moved a bunch of times over the years to lube the regulators. How 'bout it? Can we get a pattern made? Pat |
