I need a kidney photo, if someone would kindly take it
for me. Also instructions how to install it.

I've finally got my wire harness to where everything
functions. Whew 13 months effort! It's time to make Amos
look a bit more finished by installing two kidney pieces
I purchased. (non-speaker )

Problem- where exactly do the kidneys go and how do they
attched to keep them from falling off? An installed photo
would be a great help to me. Attached photo is what I have
to work with: Disregard the bad connection-eliminated.

I got sick of the pads fallin out from the clip being loose, So I actually drilled and screwed two screws into the center console frame on both sides. I haven't had any problems with it since!

If you have a decent hardware store,get some Black headed sheet metal screws and use them.

Here's a picture of a kidney:

And here's where it gets installed:

Hey, you get to sub for the Jay Leno writing team, now that they are on strike.

Originally the kidney pieces, covers that mount between the firewall and the center support, hiding the wires over the tunnel, came with a cross piece that was screwed together,one screw through each piece that entered a speed nut installed on a bent flat bar, bent at each end, where the speed nut would go.
 
That looks like a Spaghetti warehouse in there!!

Anyhow, this is what the pads look like installed, IF you use the bracket that goes between them and bolts onto the floor vent cable attachment on the left side of the console. The two screws, one each behind the speaker keep the pads from falling down.

This is the link for TRF that shows how it fits and the kit itself. https://www.zeni.net/trf/TR6-250GC/230.php

That tends to happen in Triumphs. As they tend to be driven (or should be!). /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/driving.gif /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/thumbsup.gif
 
Hey you ol' married man(congrats to you and the Mrs.!) I am envious. That interior is what I am going to work towards on mine, someday............
 
Not the best pics of the interior, (especially the drivers side with the flash making the new carpet look old), but all that I had for the moment that showed the pads for Dale.

I have worn out about three sets of pedal pads on the outside edges. I do not baby my car when I drive it. I don't abuse it, but it's never babied.
 
Yup! You said the key word, DRIVE It.

I've actually bent the brake pedal in my current driver. Took the pedal supports off of my last rust mobile, gotta go through and clean it up and install that one in the current one.
 
So that's what carpet looks like when it's installed in a Triumph - hhmmm, luxury. My interior is still predominantly "au naturale".

I stopped work on it to do the driving thing this Summer.
