Thanks MAB, but post from Oz makes them a bit expensive. I'm sure I had a pair from the UK for my cherry red 60, now in Rich Harrington's capable hands. Any UK links known ?

Grant Welsh (not Walsh) in Australia produced them. If you want to reconsider purchasing from Oz I can put you in touch.

Nick, the last UK set I saw on ebay was in 2014, see link and photos below.
Might be worth contacting the seller 'madgemade' who is still an active ebay member, as he reverse engineered them and says at the time of sale he had made some more due to popular request.

Classic Morris Mini MK1 1959 – 1960 – 1961 – 1962 door kick black plastic inserts LH and RH.
"As originally fitted to 1959 to 1962 Morris Minis only. (Austin Minis had the aluminium plates but these will fit)
The original Morris part numbers are:-
ADA3733 Protector, door pocket, RH
ADA3734 Protector, door pocket LH
These protectors are reproductions reverse engineered from undamaged originals for a classic Morris Mini Mk 1 rebuild. Due to popular request I have made some more. They are slightly thicker plastic than the originals and are thus more resistant to kick damage. Also they are slightly ‘over sized’ around the edges to allow trimming to suit your particular door pocket aluminium strip mouldings (items ADA3735 and ADA3736) that can vary a bit . Holes will need to be cut in the correct places for the door check strap screws.
See photo of a RH Protector fitted to my own rather battered 1960 Morris Mini.
Thanks for looking"
