I'm replacing the horrible hardboard door cards on my 27 chunmmy.
Can anyone advise me when cups and screws replaced pinned on door cards?
I'm assuming that Austins used japanned gimp pins to fix them originally?
Many thanks
Gimp pins ?
Did they ever use cups and screws? I have always thought that was 'modern' upholsterers method.
Interested to see what others say.

So perhaps I am not the only one who winces every time I see cup washers and screws used on Austin Seven upholstery! Some very expensive work often ruined by the over-use of this non original method of fixing.
