Fortunately the inner section of the running boards is solid and straight so I decided to have a go at replacing the flatter section with the raised ribs and join the two.
I bought an old bead roller which luckily had the correct profile wheel.
The last time I used one of these was about 20 years ago when I built a replica Kubelwagen body and I used an identical machine to put the ribs in the side panels.
A test piece shows promise so we'll see how it goes.
