She’s coming along nicely. 👍

coming on nicely....you need a lot of persistance for these old yokes but in the end worthwhile.....Wow...that is some amount of insulation you are putting in there...should be really quiet inside especially with new door seals etc. very nice job.

Beauty! Would you have a link for the LED plinth?

I will ask the owner to post it if he still makes it. All I k ow is it came from the US.

[@dougmcleod4279]

If you search on the Triumph Experience forum, there was a fellow named Brian (bpt70gt) who had picked up the 3D printer specs from the previous fellow who had been making them. I reached out and bought directly from him. He does in his spare time so it's a hobby so don't expect a rush order.

What is that knob on the A frame between the shifter and the radio? I can't believe that the owner spent a lot of money on the leather trim pieces and scrimped on the carpet set that was "incomplete". Why did you glue the carpet down on the transmission tunnel cover as it should snap in for access if needed? and there is also a 4in square access hole above the front U-joint for lubrication purposes.

@jerryhouck2708 That knob is the interior light switch, that is on all tr6s after late 72. Yes, the carpet kit snaps down, but I like to lightly glue it as it fits more snug. To be honest the access points are terrible anyway as you have to pull most of it off anyway. As for the carpet, it's not the owners fault, as different manufacturers/ vendors sell different specs. In the end it won't matter. I did not put all the access points in the cover for a reason as new u joints do not have a greese nipple.

Hi Jerry, that carpet/leather set came from JohnSkinner Manufacturing in the UK and in my opinion the quality is unrivalled. I highly recommend his kits. As for the gaps, that is the standard kit he ships out and as I said, the quality of the material is top grade so while may not fit end to end, does the job for the sound insulation and along with the Kilmat sound barrier the car should be quiet and feel solid.

The interior is looking good. I’m about to install one in my car. What is the rail set you bolted to the floor in the drivers side ? And not on the passenger’s side?

[@dougmcleod4279]

Hi Greg, I asked John if he could give me a few extra inches for the Drivers side seat to go back and that's his well thought out solution. I think it'll work out great. I'm tall at 6'2" and my son, who will get this car when my driving days are done, is 6'5" so the extra couple inches will make a big difference. That's also why I went with a 13" steering wheel which you'll see in more recent videos. My wife is 5'2" and my son's girlfriend is of similar height, so no need on the co pilots side to have the additional leg room.

[@gregpruitt3328]

It’s a good idea. I’ll look to do the same as the PO had used a few bars to raise the seat about an inch but made it hard to remove with several long bolts through the floor.
