MG Midget and Sprite General - Backboard

Could someone please post a picture of the partition between the boot and interior (1500)?
No matter how I try it just does not go in. I know you have to trim carpets, but trim panels should just slot in, shouldn't they?
Thanks Ben

You have to bend it which is a nightmare really. I made a carbon fibre one in the end in two pieces with a joggle so it slides in easier. Mine is a 1500 too but I don't think it makes any difference?

Thanks for the pictures, however when I try to bend it the vinyl wrinkles and the hardboard backing threatens to snap (perhaps a scored line would help).
Does the CF plate reinforce the backboard?
All the other trim panels fit perfectly, this is the only one which isn't quite right.

Ben,

my vinyl+hardboard panel has a folded seam down the point when it needs to bend so fis easily. Sounds like your trim panel isn't quite right then. I got mine from Andy Jennings but it looks like it was seamed from new.
PJM do individual trim panels if that helps?

Ben,

I'm putting the CF panel in instead. I've done the door cards and the rear quarter panels as a little project really. The pictures don't show the weave very well though :(
