Paul J Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Hi Peter Here is one solution that solved the problem for me on my 4A, unfortunately you do not have the H frame fitted. I made it out of stainless sheet. Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Peter V W Posted May 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Thanks Paul, H frame will be back on tomorrow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mark69 Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 I have another section of rubber that goes inside the one that’s showing in your pic, and the gaiter covers them both. Sitting in the garage waiting to be fitted one day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

harlequin Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 Hi Stuart My November 72 TR6 has no lip, is there different H frame types maybe for earlier cars? George Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Charlie D Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 (edited) I used the Chrome MGB version on my 3A. It takes a bit of bending to the curve of the tunnel, but it looks OK. It’s attached to the carpet with a ring of 6mm MDF underneath and all bolted together. That means that you can remove the gear knob (Old chrome door handle) and lift it all out with the carpet.

On my 4A just the two parts fit fine but you do have to get the item 49 in the correct orientation. If the parts have been made correctly then 47 is a good fit in the inner groove of 49 and won't come out. You may have an incorrect part, both my parts came from Moss.
