Door masonite or alternative?

Curious to see what material anyone has used or suggests for the door cards as I am struggling to find the original 2.5mm masonite! In fact I am struggling to find anything at 2.5mm and anything that you can punch a staple in! A smaller width is preferable as the leather door trim alternative I have is generally thicker than the original vinyl. Had a play with acrylic/Perspex of a slightly smaller width, it’s not affected by moisture but it does crack so unsuitable..

Richard B.: It is possible to get 2.4mm Masonite but wholesale and in large quantities, however, I spoke with a trimmer(professional) and they are using the 3.2 one gets from Bunnings and once completed is impossible to tell the difference. It is also available in smaller quantities. Richard
I know the trimmers use the 3.2 stuff but I did not want any issues/struggle with the thicker leather going on there.

Richard B.: The firm Daleys in Welshpool WA have it in large sheets. I would not bother and I am using the 3.2mm so far unnoticeable Richard
