Who makes plastic Wall panel replacements

Post by alaskan9974 »

Original wall panels under rear window and in the rear fusealage need replacement, also door panels. I see ABS door panels from plane plastics? But no interior panels to match.

Years back I cut my own using the original as pattern. Cut from sheets of Kydex? I believe it may actually be an approved material. Very durable and easy to work with. With a little heat it can be formed to fit contour, like around heat vents. As I remember it wasn’t real cheap but turned out to be a really nice solution. Available from CAC plastics in Wasilla. AK. Probably available online as well as other Plastic sources. It is a utility material look, not real fancy but likely available in different colors.
