RUBY131 Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 hi , should there be a channel that the seals on the a pillar/bulkhead to door edge fit into? I am guessing they are like a u section for the rubber to slide int. I have evidence of something being on the panel but no idea what it was or should be.

Rodbr Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 There is a strip seal that is held in by clips that grip a flange on the rubber and push into holes in bulkhead but no channel as such.. there is a seal that fits between the foot well side carpet and bulk head like furflex to match trim. see 128 Moss catalogue Trim and badges.

iain Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 Phoenix trim do a self adhesivive version of the scuttle to door trim, you can use the clips as well to look original but it will also stay there! https://phoenixtrim.co.uk/ Iain Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RUBY131 Posted June 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 Thanks guys, as there were holes I imagined that someone drilled off the channel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rodbr Posted June 19, 2020 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) Worth putting these in with pliars compressing the clip parts and coating the clip hole with waxoil or similar. The reason is that the clip fit to the rubber is tight on the fairly stiff seal and it will remove the paint as it goes in. Bare in mind that it not full length and only the top section that has it.. Draft excluder (not) it fitted between the foot well carpet and pillar tightly as supposedly seals against the door card. Good luck with that one? As far as I can find the early cars had a slightly different form in that they were leathercloth covered fuel pipe and held in place with a leathercloth covered hockeystick shaped piece of birchwood plywood. Your car should have matched furflex to trim colour glued to the bulkhead and the carpet glued over that to form a neat finish.

My first TR2 (TS3615) didn't have but I retro fitted them.I'm thinking they were introduced into production early Jan 1955, but at what comm.number i don't have to hand. I'm rather afraid in the interest of originality of my latest TR2, my left leg and the right of any passenger unlucky enough to be on board when it's raining will have to learn to stuff a rag in the gap!
