DHC Backboard

Hi All,
The existing backboard is covered in the original carpet. Im not sure if it will survive having the carpet removed.
It would be easy enough to make a new backboard from hardboard, but will it take being bent?
Are new ones supplied flat or preformed?

I removed the old carpet without any problems & recovered it with new carpet.

I don't know if Masonite is called Masonite on your side of the pond, but it's a good product for this application. You can get 1/8" panels, it's moderately waterproof, and you can bend it without it cardboarding. It's what most cars use as a backer for upholstery.
GRP is lighter, but costlier I suspect, and messier to make if you can't just go buy it.
