Steve (et. al.)--
I can't help you with any of the items on your list, but let me tell you
about how I dealt with the two above.  I used my old (cracked/broken)
panels as templates, and cut replacements out of +/- 1/8 hardboard (the
stuff pegboard is made of).  Then I found plastic laminate that matched my
tan interior surfaces(formica and wilsonart are two well-known brands)
After cementing the laminate to the hardboard, and cutting/drilling the
appropriate holes, I mounted the panels using fasteners purchased at the
FLAPS.  Looks better than original, if I may say so myself.  I only wish
I'd seen Herr Bulley's insulate/soundproof pages before buttoning it up --
would have been the perfect time to make those mods.

Good luck, however you do it!
Doug
