Let me introduce you to my old van ....a rare 1969 Morris Minor GPO postal engineering van ..... 55 made and the last one left from the Batch , it was found in somebody’s garden in 2010 and it is in a very poor state!!!! So over the years I have been collecting the parts and history and rebuilding each panel for this historic car.
which will eventually be given to the London postal museum where it deserves to be.
at the moment I am rebuilding the back of the Van and are remaking the vans inner load floors which you can buy for normal van but not for GPO van..... And also they are very poor quality !.
The picture below is for the pressing in the load floor which needs remaking.

Will pre stretch with the English wheel around the edges and then will use the Baileigh bead roller to create the pressing.... I have tried using fibreglass moulds before and then hammer forming which is successful but quite time-consuming so we will see if this works out okay.
height of pressing is 1/4 inch so will slowly use the bead roller 1/16th for each pass which obviously equals four passes....
wish me luck.
