I need the panel that goes in the trunk in front of the gas tank. I could make one if I have the dimensions and the arc around the wheel well. Does anyone here know where I might find them?
Thanks

Wow, I see these are $55 at one vendor -- I made one years ago by just guessing and cutting pieces of cardboard, taping the pieces together as I went until I had the whole shape. Then used that as a pattern to make a panel. Not bad.

Unless I'm mistaken, when I finally broke down and bought a repro I had to trim it a bit for best fit. Don't know if the shape of that area changed any with the TS60000 re-tooling, mine is a pre-60K.
 
if you need the panel that goes in the trunk, I have a spare one. Or I could trace out a pattern for you. V.B. has them for about $50 bucks
 
Dan could you trace a pattern for me. Statler did not have one.

I am going to trace one out for Greg, But I have a extra one that I will save and drop off to you when I give you back the racetorations parts. Are you going to the Autom Classic show in Morgan Hill? I am almost done with thw TR3 and a few of us will do a convoy down there.
 
Yes the V.B. one is plastic. But with a real fake vinyle look.
 
I see those items on ebay fairly often, in fact that's where I got mine. Got to recover it though. It seems to be made of a heavy mill board, and then covered with the fabric.

I used car speaker carpeting (real thin flocked material) to cover mine. Blends nicely in the trunk area. Easy to replicate on 1/8" hardboard from HD.
 
Plastic is a good replacement if the trunk leaks leaks but leaks are not {good}unless spelled leek than they are quite good.

But a "real fake vinyl look?" - probably not good.
