Bubba do you think this frp would stick to the original covers?, I did drop a dob of liquid nails on the broken one the other day and it didn't want to come off so will try it and see later.
Will be going two a couple of major centres in a few days so will look around for it.
The screws you have in your panels are the same as mine, it looked like someone in the factory had started doing them and then stopped as only a few were done.

I haven't broken any yet, but even tho I'm a skinny bloke I think its only a matter of time. When they do break, I'll try replacing them with light ply reinforced ribs for added strength
