First off...with the post I just read about Herman I'm typing this with a VERY heavy heart. As a car guy that started with air and watercooled VW's. Then Audis. And now my built 4Runner and restoring my Triumph I truly appreciated his love for cars as a whole and just an all around GREAT guy to have met. Not to mention his love for beer. I was really looking forward to taking him some beer this next year when I drove my Triumph down to show him. Ugh...RIP Herman.
Sooooo....today I started the install of the interior on my TR4. A couple of questions:
1. The kick panel boards...how are those attached? The Moss carpet kit I got has two holes in weird locations.
2. Anyone else used the TRF interior panel hardware kit? I'm having a hard time finding out where all those bolts go and what they are for. I may have to email them and see if they can tell me.
3. Someone replaced the channels the door seals go into and decided to rivet them in. Well...that's great and all, but then you can't slide the seal in. On the passenger side it was only a VERY small piece so I JB Welded it. But the drivers side is a majority of the bottom area. Any reason I can't JB Weld a larger piece. Why I didn't catch that OR WHY the shop that did my body work didn't catch that.
4. Where are all the snaps supposed to go for the carpet. Moss gave me a TON, but I can only see 6. Two on each pass and dr floor and two on the tunnel. Guess they gave me like 15 extra?
5. And to confirm...and I know this...but the rear leaf that has the extra plate goes on the drivers side, correct? I know this and for some reason I STILL put it on the passenger side. It's there so when you sit in the car it's level. Luckily it seems the leafs are easy to swap.
Sorry for the long winded post. Here are some pics from yesterday and today. And yes, know the wipers are wrong. Working on getting them corrected.
