Hello,
As this is my first LBC (1980 Triumph Spitfire), I have had many questions and this site, the Haynes manuals and parts catalogs have been a wealth of information.
However, I have not been able to find this answer. I pulled the seats and carpet up and ordered a new gearbox cover to replace the falling apart fiber one. This caused to ponder if there ever was or should be be a layer of felt, like 1/2" thickness under the carpet? The carpet seems thin and sits directly on the metal.
