What is the correct color for the transmission cover? The car is a late 1956. I thought the cover was ment to be body color but I could find none of the color on mine while cleanig. The only color I could find was red primer on the outside, and flat or satin black on the bottom. I did look thru the judging standards but clould not find what I was looking for. Any ideas.

Keith-
That very issue is being actively discussed on the TRA website. I think Frank (angelfj) may have started the question up - based on Mark Macy's comments (and he's seen a lot of covers), primer red/black has shown up on a lot of vehicles. On others, it definitely was body color. Too many in red/black for me to think it was due to just previous owners, so I'd say do it either way and you'd have a pretty defensible argument.

Keith,
Have to agree it is a little confusing.
On my two, they are both different.
TS69891LO is black and TS64870L is painted car colour.
Cheers,

Same here, I have had cars with body color and then just primer. I usually go back with car color if I am paining the whole car. I have just painted black when doing a trans removal.

The tunnel on my 1958 TR3A has been black since new. But then my TR has always been black as well.
We painted the tunnel for the green TR3A I restored the exterior colour green. No TRA or VTR judge will lift the carpet to check. Judges are only allowed to look at what they can see. They are not permitted to open a door, close a bonnet, boot lid, etc. They can only ask the owner to do that.
