Wow thanks I might just take you up on that. I have a bit of modeling experience, not much but enough to do such a simple thing.
Note I did think a bit about that approach but was not sure the metal would be strong enough without making it too thick (and heavy - I don't want to add much weight as they are already pretty heavy). The metal of the existing side panels seems something hard and light but not sure what it is.
