Default Replacing sill

I have a '65 FHC E-Type with a bad sill. I am looking for a recommendation on where to find a replacement sill that will closely fit the curvature of the original closing panels still in place on the car.
I have dealt with bad fitting replacement panels on previous vehicles that I have owned and don't want to repeat that situation with my Jag.
Thanks in advance for any advice with this.

Monocoque Metalworks - finally perfect outer sills.

I've gotten other panels from Chuck and they are amazing.

I've bought Monocoque panels for inside the sills several months ago and Chuck sent me an email that he has sills now available I bought my sales from SNG have not got to install them yet but they look very good

The word in other forums is that Martin Robey sills (those available from the usuals) require a lot of - as the English say - "fettling". I'm sure a Google search will turn up some experiential stories. Havent done it myself.
