TR2/3/3A TR3A seat rails from Moss

Thanks all. The rails should arrive Monday, so the coming week will be interesting.

I think I've read in a couple places that the original TRs came with rubber mats but no carpeting. Is this right? If so, was the interior just painted steel with rubber on the floor? Was carpet something added later?

TR2's had rubber floor mats. TR3's had carpet as standard equipment.

Very useful as a "magic decoder ring" for standard hardware part numbers. For example, if the part number is UL2705, this document will tell you that is a hex-head screw, ACME thread, 1/4" diameter by 3/8" long.

Unfortunately, what it doesn't tell you is how many of those are used on a particular model of Triumph.

BTW, I've been slowly adding bookmarks to the PDF file, making it easier to find the right section for a particular hardware prefix. Don't have it on a web site anywhere, but if you would like a copy via email (~2Mb), email me (TR3driver AT ca.rr.com). Some day I'll get aggravated enough to run it through OCR ...

My TR3A (TS 27489 LO) came with rubber floor mats in May 1958 as in the photo at the top of page 2 in this list above. I still have remnants of the original ones. In the photo are the mats I bought from TRF in 1991. I only use them for concours events. They are like the originals except that the snaps to hold them down to the floor pans are left brass whereas the heads of the snaps on the original mats were black enamel. Also the floor snaps on the repros are about 1" off from where the original snaps were. So I put the new clips in the correct place on the floor pans for the snaps for the new repro rubber mats.
