With appologies to Nigel.
I should have said 'Oil Tempered' hardboard. (NOT oil bonded)
I bought a trim set a number of years ago because the seat vinyl split next
to the seams. To have panels that matched in colour with the new seats, I
had to have new ones of those as well. They were not good. Not up to the
standard I wanted. I ended up carefully stripping the old panels and using
them as templates to make the new ones. The best drills to use are 'saw
tooth' bits. They are rather like a forstner bit, but much much better on
'man made' timbers like hardboard. They are expensive though. Failing
that, at least use those drill bits with sharp spikes on the outside edges
of the cutting edge. (Not as good but OK if sharp)
Sorry for the duff gen. My mind is not functioning properly at the moment.
