French supplier of repair panels for Mk. 1 Renault Master

Post by jamescarruthers » Sun Jun 11, 2017 7:03 pm

I have a Renault Master Mk. 1 which has rusty sills under the front door steps, in fact one side is just sculpted filler from what I can tell. Whilst this is only an MOT advisory at the moment, I would like to get it sorted as I am quite attached to my old Camper. I'm probably in the minority here but I think the original Master is a handsome beast!!

I believe I need what is known as a door step sill repair panel. I have tried all the places that come up on eBay whilst searching around the subject. Unsurprisingly, it isn't available new and the places that keep NOS body panels were helpful but didn't have anything for a Master.

I am wondering if maybe there will be a French supplier of old repair panels that anyone can direct me to. Maybe over there I will have more luck?

If not, it'll just get made up afresh, but a chop-out/weld-in section would be great.

Maybe someone here can help, but might be a good idea to put the post on frenchcarforum.co.uk.
Several members there are based in France, and the site has a Renault following too.

Edit: Just seen you've already done just that.

Hi James, I'm holidaying in southern France atm, returning on august 4th, so if you want any panels picking up, I may be able to help.

Thanks Julian, that is very nice of you. I haven't had much luck with panels so far. Have you taken H656 to France?

Alas no, combination of it not having an MOT and not being able to take two push bikes without resorting to a bike rack meant the Voyager is on duty instead.
