   Hello all-
   
   I'm nearing the end of restoration of BEX430, and am in need of dimensions and construction details for the carpeted panel (the one with with the "Mickey Mouse" ears, for lack of better description) that resides on the bulkhead behind the seats. Even a good photo or two would be helpful.
   
   Further, does anyone have details on fabricating realistic looking side screens for this model? I think my chances of finding a pair at this point are slim to none!
   
   Cheers,
   Ian

The rear bulkhead trim is made up of a thin cardboard panel covered with leather & two pieces of partially bound carpeting, as shown in the photos.
   
   
   The trim card is approx 1/16" thick & the leather is stuck to it with all the edges folded around, apart from the two curved edges where it overlaps the board by around 1/2".
   
   
   The board is then glued in place on to the bulkhead panel & finally the two carpet pieces glued in place as shown below.
