    If you don't find anyone local, I could send you a tracing of my modified ********** panels. Might help?

    I bought a pair of your panels for my 289 last year and modified them to fit made mostly it involved cutting away some masonite where the door is bolted the front other than that they fit reasonably well.

    That's about what I did. Pulled the vinyl off the backing, cut it back about 2", then trimmed the vinyl and stapled it back in place.

    Template is in the mail Herb.
