Hi Tim, yes definitively they were around in the early 60’s. My car’s a 68, so probably a bit late, but will still look great like yours!

Hi Rob, I understand what you’re saying, but still very collectible, but with modern day technology. For me personally, it gives me the best of both worlds. Best Neil

Hi Stuart, it’s a negative earth, with Bluetooth, Hands Free phone and DAB/FM. Best Neil

Hi Roger, I know, I was extremely lucky to get this, and just been converted to Bluetooth, DAB/FM and mobile hands free! It’s going in my TR250, I only purchased a TR6 H frame as it has the side speakers. Can’t wait to get it installed now!

Thanks Dave, appreciate the link. I’ve received the radio back today after being converted to DAB/FM with Bluetooth functionality, and hands free phone setup. The work was carried out by Mike at Classic Car Radio Bluetooth Conversions and comes with 3 years guarantee! It’s also a negative earth, which is great. Best Neil

Hi Roger, I went for this Motorola model. i have a H frame with a large rectangular cut out, so the radio just slides in rather than the dials holding it in place.

Hi all, I purchased a TR6 H frame to add the kidney speaker panels to the sides. I’ve purchased the radio, which is being converted to Bluetooth. My question is does the radio need a bracket that sits behind the H frame to support the radio, and if so can anyone recommend where to get one? Many thanks in advance

Hi all, Does anyone know how to remove the chrome sill trim on a door, before I embark and damage something in the process! Thanks

Hi Stuart, I spoke to the trimmers this morning. It seems you have to make a snip in the underside mohair channel then feed your retaining rod through, and then you need to make the holes through the mohair and rubber seal. I’ve managed to get this far, and they also left the front of the hood unfinished and added a faint chalk line for the TR6 header. Neil

Hi Harry, I got the hood from a really good car trimmers, who are going to call me tomorrow. They make these all the time, which is why I can’t understand if I’m doing something wrong haha! Neil

I’ve got a better idea now, thanks Graham Neil

Hi, no I don’t have them as I’m going down the TR6 locking header rail route. Neil

Thanks Graham Neil

Hi Graham, thanks for the advice, but as you can see from the images attached the retainer bar can’t get past the channel - how strange.

Thanks Tim, I definitely don’t have the 2 holes on mine and it doesn’t want to push through, especially as the 2 threaded studs seem wider than the channel. Hoping someone else might be able to shed some light Neil

Hi all, I wondered if anyone can shed some light on how this rear retaining bar fits into the back of my new Surrey soft top. I was guessing it went inside the leatherette channel and you made 2 holes where they should align to the top of the Surrey backlight, but it’s rather tight to push this through. cheers Neil

Thanks Stuart, I’ll get some ordered. Neil

Thanks Stuart, really appreciate it, I’ll get some ordered. Neil

Hi all, can anyone advise the type of glue required to stick the Surrey mohair soft top around a TR5/6 header rail. i want to be able to reposition to get it right, rather than an instant contact glue. Any recommendations? Thanks Neil

Hi Conrad, sounds good, I’ll PM you. Neil

Hi all, if anyone has an original TR5/6 windscreen capping and wants to sell, please contact me! Must be in good condition Thanks Neil

Hi Mark, I used an ‘L’ shaped bracket I purchased from eBay, which worked perfectly. I purchased them from eBay for £17.40… https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/402639611381?_nkw=classic+spot+or+fog+light+mounting&itmmeta=01J5QNP91MEYEFTVJQH9BCS91Z&hash=item5dbf30e5f5:g:2OIAAOSwyPVlnnuw&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKkrdfInU8sECC0PXzwHDeIpP8eXLRSstzqyEQUpXq5e2ScQVcGMe0BUGjENRE9SsU8eGIJ8yNVsEHhcYLfodrvW6iu15e15O6%2BlBCF8YmEMX8kQDEX0jO9r2Vhpm5Xu2BiRZRKYX5LeFAtYjwj0QhmcrS3oL5NDjZoAcayu6YcfHFw5OR73yyE9pmw%2Fa54Pgrv7yiRkX1gzgiN%2BtbKCJosDVqzjFUoeOANbOO%2BtdQYo6N9USenOxFUXXep8zi

Thanks Harry, but I’m looking for a TR6 one, as I want to go down the same route as you for a soft Surrey top. Neil
