TR2/3/3A Carpet question 1956 TR3

Is this how it should look with the rubber exposed on top ? I can't find any pictures that show the overdrive cable cover.

Looks good to me.

Thanks Randall I was thinking it was correct but it's hard to find a picture to confirm it.

I see what you mean, I couldn't find any photos either. But that's the good news too, it's almost unnoticeable by the time the RH seat is installed.

Keith- I'm not sure you have much adjustment flexibility, but if you can it might be worth trial fitting with the handbrake in place - make sure you get the motion range you need with the handbrake that way before adding snaps. Just a thought, looks great!

Thanks Randy. Now that you mention it I do remember others having problems with the carpet and brake lever. I will do as you suggested.

Keith - who's carpet kit? Looks good.

TRF I almost went with the Skinner kit but they misquoted me the price and included VAT, and the wrong shipping charge. TRF was very helpful in making my decision by supplying samples, and when the stone color became unavailable they were able to find some and still gave me a great price.

I bought carpets from Prestige in the UK. Very disapointed in both the carpets and the company

I unfortunately felt the same way with my TR4 kit a few years ago - binding missing around the gearshift lever among other things. The Moss kit I bought was much better.
