Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I tried Britishfelt but the minimum order size was a bit prohibative. I found a company in Newark (UK) and have got some from them. It looks pretty good but now have the interesting job of gluing it into position.

Hi Roger. Thanks for your suggestion. I have had a look at Woolies and they do have some felt listed but it seems to have a PVC coating so not sure it would be suitable.

Hi all. Does anyone know of a supplier of felt in the UK suitable for the toolbox and side screen storage box on a TC? It looks like it was wool based but has anyone used acrylic (I can't find any online that look like the correct finish). I know that Moss etc has a version but it look expensive for...

Hi all - does anyone happen to know the correct spec/size for the round head slotted wood screw that fits on the scuttle where most people have an interior mirror fitted?
Cheers

Hi Steve - good to hear from you. I have decided to punch the pins deep and fill over. As you can see my TC project is also not yet complete but moving forward slowly

Hi all. Just a quick question - There is a nail on the door post on my TC body tub (see attached picture). Should this be there and if so should it be hammered in and filled over or left visible? Cheers. Tim.file.php

Hi Ray - have you got any details of the plug(s) you used for the main loom to dash connection? I am planning on going the same route when work stops getting in the way!

No worries - I will give you a call then.

Looking good Steve. My rear wings were shot and I didn't have replacements when building the tub so am now struggling to get a decent fit on the curves. I am working away for a couple of weeks but will give you a call when I get back so we can compare notes! Cheers, Tim.

Thanks Gene - I thought that would be the case but just wanted to be sure.

Hi all, My new front wings have arrived (they look great!) - the front hole will need opening to clear the bolt on the chassis (covered by the little dome on the front apron). I just want to be sure that I should open this hole - surely you don't remove the bolt and fit it through the wing hole? I h...

Thanks for the pointers. The problem I have is that I have re-skinned the tub, have new rear wings (no holes) and new front wings (no holes) so nothing to work from. I have stepped bolts and one original old rear wing that has the hole referred to so I will use that as a starting point. I have looke...

Hi all, I am trail fitting panels (1949 TC) and could use some advice about positioning of the running boards. What is the gap between the bottom of the door and the top of the board (I guess this will vary but ballpark figure)? What is the gap (in board and outboard) where it meets the rear wing (a...

Its my TC - Alan recorded the repairs at the time and said he planned to put it on his site. I went the same route as you - looked at their work on YouTube and then had a long chat going through what was required.

I have used Marque Restore for all of my chrome work. They have several weeks waiting list which is always a good sign. I have been happy with the results. My radiator surround was in very poor condition and they use an outside contractor for larger repairs - this was reshaped pretty well including ...

Hi Ray - I have the Auto Sparks dashboard harness and it has a single white wire included.

Thanks guys. I have a late TC so its black socket on the left. As you say Steve -it does make you wonder sometimes!

Hi all. During the cold weather I am rebuilding my TC instrument panel and would like to know the correct way to fit the red and black power sockets. Is it red on the left or right when viewed from the drivers seat? A google search and looking at the books I have show both options. Cheers. Tim.

Hi Chris. Its the hole between the 2 studs on the outer chrome part that doesn't seem to have anything to line up with. The Moss catalogue seems to show this hole but the three holes in the inner bar line up with holes higher up that seem correct. I have had a few 'modification ' holes blanked befor...

Hi all. I have had the parts of my TC windscreen re-chromed and have started the rebuild however I have a concern. The threaded bar that sits inside the side post has 4 holes on the original and only 3 on the replacement. Does this indicate I have a TD screen and if so will that be a problem? The br...
