I am getting close to being ready to start building a totally new interior for my 1973 31' AS. I do have some of the curved aluminum exstrusion strips that were used to attach interior partitions and cabinets to the inner walls of the AS. I am not sure that I have all of the originals, though. Also I have not made up my mind about the type of construction to use for the cabinets and interior partitions. See the following thread for some discusion I started on alternative construciton:

What I would really like to discuss at this point is what my options are for attaching the interior partitions to the inside skin of the AS. So here are some questions:
1.) Do you know of a source for the original type aluminum extrustions in case I need more than what I have and decide to go that route?
2.) Do you know of an alternative type of extrustion - either metal or maybe even plastic that could be used? Would it be hard to bend them? What about extrusions for a different thickness of material such as 1/8" or 1/4" (the original was 3/16" I think)?
3.) What alternative attachement techniques have you used and how have they worked out?
4.) Do you think it is important to have some slip or flex between the inner partitions and the inner aluminum skin? Would it be OK if the inner partions were more rigidly attached than they are with the aluminum extrusions?
Thanks in advance for the discussion,
Malcolm
