Hi Erich,
I'm not actually sure either what was used originally. From period photos it's very difficult to tell. Unless someone has an original ulster door card or photos they're willing to share, it's best guess. I originally thought there would be a very thin plywood door card covered in rexene. However when poking my head down in a original 12/4 I noticed that the panel around the vents in the foot well area had no door card... just rexene slapped on to the metal side and glued. A very thin ply sheet covered in rexene would probably be the best guess. But maybe there was none? Just plain old rexene glued straight on.? As for fixing a door card on the bottom edge... it probably doesn't need fixing if you make the card a good close fit like others have mentioned. I'll probably do that on my car.
Cheers,
Athow
