I'm looking for a relatively simple template.
If anyone has an old front wind up door pocket card lying around in a reasonable state, may I ask that they take a photo for me and measure it's overall length and width?

I'm making new ones, but am short of this template. It will be fairly easy, hence I only need a few measurements to finish it off.

This will be the last of the upholstery! Woo hoo!

Mick

I believe they are. It's a very simple design I believe, not prone to changes.

Some model Clubmans are different in that part of the trim folds upward along the pocket edge, they do fit but just thought I would point out the difference

My old 1966 vintage ones were shrivelled up bits of red fibreboard and vinyl. I wanted black this time so took a couple out of my Clubby doors, a perfect fit. :D

Thanks Wombat, all good now. I've got the template transferred onto the card now, all I need to do is cut it out and add the vinyl.
