They will fit, I use them on doors they I repair to sell on.

Just check at the top of the skin as a few of them bow out. This can be dealt with but needs to be done before fitting. Also remove all of the rubbish primer coating they use.

ill be looking at magnum stuff as i can get them from G&S classic escorts in widnes. I know the owner and would rather get stuff from him.

 

 

Do they do a repair part for the bottom of the door frame?

Yes, right at the bottoms, they are not the best and will take some fettling to get a good fit and you will need to add metal to finish the bottom lip. Trim off any excess where it fits up the door carcass. If it's not needed there then pointless to use it all. Don't forget to add three drain holes right in the radius of the return where it fits against the door skin.
