The passenger side cover in my 86.5 had completely deteriorated, and I decide to replace it with something more durable, so I made one from steel sheet, reusing the old carpet:
Shell of the original cover, upholstery removed
Shell disassembled for patterns
Nibbling pattern out of steel sheet
Placing fittings
Edges smooth on main shell and formed using a small brake
I love the idea of it having added support, though if I ever do this and think my old knee may be involved, I will probably look into some hard foam cushioning!
