Westy Interior Panels

[vil]

Hi All, just wondering what material/type of wood the interior panels are on my 70 Westy

I am currently changing mine but do I just go down to my local B & Q or woodyard or are the panels a different type of material to that readily available?

Thanks!

the panels are made from Baltic Birch Ply which is 6mm thick and its very hard to get hold of over here i think you will find..

I have just replaced mine. The roof panels are 3mm Baltic Birch which I got in 5x5 sheets from Arnold Laver Timberworld.

I used 4mm 8x4 sheets for the sides as they do not do 3mm in 8x4.

There is a branch in Birmingham:

Nice one Mathaus....

thats a bit closer than the other suppliers i've found for 5x5....

cannot find it anywhere in my neck of the woods but a trip to the outlaws and i can get my timber panels sweetens the deal a little :lol:

I'm using 4mm ply (not baltic birch as its well difficult to get) for my side panels, with 2 coats of yacht varnish to both sides.
I still have to feather the edges down to get them to fit into the original kombi channels, which originally had 3mm hardboard panels.
