My trim shop is working on door panels for my 1970 280SL and is asking if I have the internal structure for the soft map pockets, which I do not have. I have searched here and found several posts converting the soft map pockets to the earlier hard pockets but no mention of an internal structure for the soft map pockets. My usual sources, Authentic Classics and SLS do not have anything. Trim shop thinks it is probably a metal U shaped piece that the soft pocket is formed around and then attached to door card.
If anyone has such a piece a picture would be very much appreciated - dimensions even more-so. I am thinking easily fabricated. Any tips on install also appreciated.
As a last resort, if anyone knows of a source for these things that too would be helpful if photo and dimensions requested don't materialize. TIA. Lee
