Hello,
Does anyone have or know where I could get a door liner for a Cavalier CS-96C square top machine?

Thanks,
Derek

I am gonna give myself a bump, because my whole restoration is on hold for a door liner. Anyone have one that I could buy? Sodajerkworks told me they would need a good one to make a pattern for, so does anyone have a good one that they would volunteer to be used to make a pattern for?

should have been here a 1-1/2 years ago when I hauled 6 chassis to the local scrap yard, I post them for parts  here but no takers at the time ( sorry to torment you)  hopefully someone can pony-up

Thanks,
I just can't believe I may have to junk my machine because of a door liner! I may have to part mine out or haul to the dump!

I'm in the same position as you with a Vendorlator 90, just need to find a door liner, mine is too beat up.  I'm considering having a sheetmetal shop fab up a sheet of textured aluminium which is what some of the Cavaliers used at a point in time.

Don't junk a machine just because of a door liner. A couple of chunks of foam core from Hobby Lobby/Michael's will work just fine until you can make/find something better.
All the door liner needs to do is hold the insulation in place.

I know I have seen a Cavalier with a stainless steel door liner, but I can't remember where. I am a pretty good fabricator but I can't imagine making a door liner that matches the plastic one for my particular machine. You would need a worldclass fabricator that has access to a planishing hammer, and a lot of other equipment. I guess I need to just wait and try to find one or try to fab something out.

I guess I dont' see the need to have an exact replica made of the original.. if you have the original, even broken, take it to a sheet metal shop and have them cut one out for you... at least you can put something in place and finish and enjoy your machine...

Goodl Luck!

This guy wants 75.00 for the entire machine

Nice set of parts, but he needs the liner for a CS90, this one is a CS64   :down:

Yeah, CS-96C….. I must have been day dreaming at the time…. Well if anyone need a CS64 here is a good donor. So as it is said in the language of my children... My Bad. :glare:


See if this is any closer:

Thanks blind1968,
Thats my exact machine. That one is in better shape than mine, but really far away and too nice to raid for parts. Mine is a family heirloom and I would like to keep it and not start on another.

I don't need an exact replica, but I don't see how a sheetmetal shop could make one. It isn't a flat piece, it bolts to door but the whole piece is "raised" and has an indention where the wires go and also has a sculpted piece with a hole in it for the door latch. I would bet there is someone who could make one similar but I don't know where. If you bolted a flat piece of sheet metal on the door there would be no room for the insulation.
