'73 Safari sink cabinet rebuild

[jasmith58]

A PO removed the original Tambour Doors, tracks and the entire from frame from the sink cabinet in my ’73 Safari. I don’t know why, but anyway, I’d like to rebuild it back to as original as possible this winter. I know the Tambour material can be had, but don’t know about the rest of the hardware. Can anyone out there provide some photos and drawing of an original cabinet and a source of parts? Also, any assistance you all could offer would be very helpful.
Thanks
Jim

My ’72 Tradewind has cabinetry built up of aluminum extrusions with laminate sides with inserts in the face frames. These are riveted and clipped together with a plywood top screwed to the base. I believe this system was used through the late ‘70s.
In mine the tambour rides in the face frame extrusions and rolls up in plastic spirals. Check your other cabinets, if they are still there, to see how these are put together.
If you want to stay original I think your best bet is to find a salvaged piece and go from there.
I’ll be rebuilding mine this winter. Honestly, I won’t know what I’m going to do with it until I take it out and see what it will take to repair.

Tom.
