MG MG Y Type - Missing wood trim bits.

Mea Culpa time - with the YA doors in pieces for a few years(!), I seem to have lost 2 items of interior door trim: the bottom triangle of woodwork at the rear of the driver's side rear door (if you can follow that);and the 2 strips of vertical trim on each end of the windscreen.
I've tried a couple of possible sources in Australia, but in case I'm unsuccessful, would anyone overseas have any of these pieces either for purchase outright or, if preferred, to lend me for copying and return?
Thanks for reading. Yours, John.

... in further news, I found the windscreen pillar trims today, so am only missing the bottom rear corner piece from driver's side rear door. Hoping someone might be able to help. Thank you ... John.

Hi John,
I have been through all my door wood spares on "the shelf" and that is one piece I do not have. There may be one in a box I have not unpacked yet, so don't despair just yet. Keep going with the rest of the car.

Can you post an update photo of your car ?.

Thanks for trying, Tony - I'll remain hopeful. Also look forward to your opinion on the window seals question (my email), when you have time. John.

cheers Rob

Goodonyer Rob! - the bit I'm missing is the little triangle at the lower rearmost corner - but on the assumption that you want to keep it complete, let me know what the frame is worth to you, and if there's anything you're chasing in case we can do a swap.
PS - yes, the job you did on my radiator is first class.Please email me as above. Regards, John.

Hi John ,
I am glad you brought up the topic of door woods. I recently was fortunate to secure woods for all doors but the drivers , and have another Y in waiting for a drivers side wood as well . What is it about drivers side ?
I was looking through my woods box recently and saw a piece you are after- it may be the correct piece for the puzzle. Will check tomorrow .
If there is anyone with a full door Drivers side complete please advise on site..
Regards Clive

Thanks to Rob Snell for coming up with the goods, and to Clive for the offer of help.
Clive, I assume you mean you need the driver's side FRONT doortrim? - let's hope someone is able to help you mate. Regards, John.

Well done John , I found the piece but it was for the drivers door back lower corner , I was so fixed on the driver's door.. I guesss this is a piece you don't need , but if you look at the included picture I could complete one driver's door wood if I could find the leading vertical piece . I still need another full drivers door wood ( RHD) for my third Y
Any help very much appreciated and would pay premium for a complete drivers door wood trim
How big is your box of wood pieces Tony ?

Well you never know - there are 20-30 bits in there still. I'll have a look later today, the sun is not up yet !.

Three Y-Types - have you added your cars to the IMGYTR ?.

Cheers

Tony, would be grateful if you could look for me and even if you could put a whole one together.
The pic included is no one ,no2 is currently up to paint stage, and no3 an acquisition earlier this year is stored for when I have more time. sorry didn't make it up to 70th

Tried to load it but too big a file .I will add photos of the cars later to IMGYTR

Rob Snell - the frame arrived today! Thank you so much, it is just what I needed. Please email me as above so that I may transfer funds to you. Yours, John.
