nibbo Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Hi All, Firstly a very happy and prosperous New Year to all at TRR. I am refurbing my wind screen frame and wanted to pose the following question: is it best to replace the old vinyl / plastic inner trim with like for like or would it be best to use a crinckle finish paint ? I also notice in the parts catologue the mention plastic trim finisher for the outside !!! my frame didn't have this so should it be there ? the car is 1974 PI REG: NBW 576P. Many thanks Nigel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 There is no outer plastic trim unless your talking about the finisher in the screen rubber. Best looking for the inside is the moulded kit available from all the usual suspects, or you could cover with Vinyl, painting doesnt look good and its in your eyeline all the time your driving it.

nibbo Posted January 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Hi Stuart, Thank you for your reply, I am looking at the following: Rimmers - TR6 Windscreen and Frame "page" Picture number 12 - re-trim set - black moulded vinyl - windscreen frame. Part no RR1229M £84 Picture number 16 - re-trim set - vinyl material - windscreen frame. Part no RR1229V £40 Which is the best one in your opinion ? Nigel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peejay4A Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Go for the moulded one every time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 I dont buy from Rimmers but certainly the Moss moulded one is nice and fits well. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nibbo Posted January 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Thank you stuart, just one more question, should the windscreen frame be painted the same colour as the shell or should it be black ? ( matt or shiny ) Nigel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ntc Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) Nowt wrong with the Rimmers one, and frame painted body colour. Edited January 5, 2016 by ntc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
david ferry Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Neil, Are you sure? I thought the frame on a 1974 TR6 was supposed to be painted satin black. David Quote Link to post Share on other sites
