I've been using panels from Bull Motif (Sill sections, front spring hangers) - good thicknesses and no fitting problems at all.

We've always bought all our repair panels from Bm as well with no fitting problems (they're the nearest supplier to us we're lucky we can drive there (25miles) If they don't fit complain to the supplier - that's the only way they will realise they're not fit for the job.

I buy my panels either from Bull Motif or ESM (East Sussex Minors) ESM is the nearest to me and the preferred for that reason.

They both sell LMC Hadrian repair panels which, while not allways absolutely perfect, seem to fit well enough for repairs to the underside of the car.
