[Caboose]

Has anyone fitted these repair panels, what's the quality and fit like?

I bought the double skin inner valance, the guy who is restoring my bus made it fit. When it arrived I had a good look at, it had lots of wrinkles in the pressings and the fit between the 2 panel assembly left a bit to be desired so quality not the best, going from memory the one I bought was a klockerholm product.

Once its welded in place you don't see much of it.

Yes...as bought from GSF or Just Kampers. As with most of the repro panels, they are of a thinner metal than original and dont fit all that well...need a bit of fettling!

Cheers mike and toad it doesn't say on there website who's make it is, I suppose most non genuine parts need some sort of tweaking :roll:

It looks like they are the same...they all generally sell the same stuff

Thanks toad I'll soon see what they are like I've ordered them. :shock:

klocken crappen.
Just fitted some and they're shocking. Unfortunately there are no alternatives unless you get original cuts.

All the panels are rubbish except the Funky Green panels. These are the correct gauge and a perfect fit. I think (I'm not 100% sure) C & C sell may sell the Brazilian panels which you ought to avoid - totally.

Funky Green Panels are the premium quality.

Got my panels this morning, not impressed by them at all. If there are people out there that have fitted these any chance of posting some pictures to show how you tweaked them to fit.
These seem to fit where they touch( not in too many places aswell )

Caboose - this is a great thread on how to make the klokkencrappen panels look good, some serious skills and tools read though

It is so frustrating that Autocraft or Klassicfab don't make lower front panel inners and middles. Winds me up how you can get almost any panel for a split but not an EB, surely all the splits have been restored now? !! :msn4:

As me and Russ always say...they are made to fit a vehicle similar to a Bay!! lol

How good a fit these panels are from AH Schofield? They fit the same as from the other usual suspects or are Schofield's any better?

Schofields sell Klonkkerholm ones.

Ronnie fitted mine and I believe it was actually an okish fit.
