first bit really need a pic, dont think you can get a complete panel!
Second bit look in alternative engines for infor about the conversion your talking about

We had same problem - to buy new from Schofields its a grand total of £425!!!!!! ouch!!!
I got one of the bay of fleas - as I had brought the bottom part (sill) then found i needed the whole panel.
If you send me a PM i can let you know who I got it off as they have other parts.
If you need just the bottom sill (8 inches high) thenlet me know as Im gonna be selling mine on.

I know that feeling well. Although its not as bad if you can do it yourself or know someone.
The bonus is if you learn how to do it you can help others for beer tockens. I just finished some work on a mates split and started on another one now, all because i had to learn to weld. So there can be positives
