TR2/3/3A Recovering TR3 [not 3A] elbow rail

[TR3driver]

Does anyone have a guide on recovering the elbow rails? This is for an early car where the vinyl/leather is just folded over the end of the rubber cushion, not a later car with the chrome finisher button. How the folding is done is what I'm interested in.

Unfortunately, I managed to lose the originals from TS13571L, and all I have are the base pieces from another TR3.

Hi Randall, no guide but I can send pics of my late TR2 rails if that helps, I believe they may be the original coverings too. Please let me know and I can get pics this weekend... Tim

Here are some shots of an old capping I have in leather. The leather has shrunk up quite a lot showing how the cap was made. Kind of ugly pictures but they mat help. The one picture is how my new one turned out.
