There is a certain Triumph breakers in Woolwich who if you phone will tell you they have loads of good doors to choose from - don't believe them! I travelled about 300 miles round trip to find they have a yard full of scrap doors. Of course they might have good ones available now, but my point is don't take their word for it if you have to travel any distance.

You could try Spitfire Graveyard in Sheffield, they do have Herald & Vitesses parts too and have a good reputation.

They do a skin, or a complete door, made with the original tooling, therefore in theory as good as new old stock....


The OE skins are pretty good, but I've yet to meet anyone who rates the new doors highly.
I believe that there may still be some aftermarket skins in production, avoid those at all costs. LMC had an original set of doorskin tools at one time, I'm unsure if these are the same tools currently being used by Fitchetts.

Cheers,
Bill.
