[My S1]

Has anyone found a reasonable facsimile of the S1 interior door trim material?

Is what i ordered.

[jbcollier]

Should work.

[My S1]

Mr. Rainer,

that looks like the proper trim.  Many Thanks.  Did you have to use a heat gun to form the bends?

[jbcollier]

Might help for the one tight bend.

The sales rep at Cohbaines tells me that that chrome trim will not bend around tight corners.  Any other suggestions friends?  The original material is actually aluminum with a vinyl coating.

[jbcollier]

I was able to bend it, no problem.

[My S1]

Well done.  I'll go for it.  Maybe use some adhesive to tack it down?

[jbcollier]

Maybe, try it without first though.

[My S1]

John,  I see a secondary escutcheon on your door handle.  Was this a late S1 feature?

[jbcollier]

Hmm, don’t really know.  Here is a period photo of a 47 with them:

I did make cuts at the 90 degree corners everything else went on very easy and stayed in place the first try without any heat.

Today i tried a 90 degree bend with a heatgun on a leftover piece. It is possible when you are carefull.
