5)new indicator lenses (front)

It just so happens that these are on the 'bay right now. They have gone for stupid prices recently so bid with some caution. There are alternative BMW & Kia based replacements with a bit of modification.

6)handbrake gaitor

These also pop up on E-bay fairly regularly. They are some sort of cottage industry in Kingston. I have a set and whilst they are OK, and fit fine etc, the leather could be a little thicker.

I have found this - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TVR-S2-S3-S4-TASMIN-GRIFFITH...

but this webpage does not look like the supplier mine came from, but I could be wrong. The picture in the ad looks similar to the set I have so it may be the same people.

These people had a stand at the Classic Car Show a couple of weeks back.

I've got a roll of black carpet from Coverdale in the garage. I can measure it up or send a sample if you're interested?

Looks like the place I got new handbrake & gearstick gaitors from for my last S. They were well made and fitted a treat but, as mentioned above, the leather was thinner than the original. Wasn't a problem though cos they looked great

I'm pretty sure that there was athread on here recently about this. Try doing a search. I'd do it but my lkunch 1/2 hour is just finishing.

Wasn't it Woolies Trim that had them or am I getting confused with something
else?

This is teh thread for teh roof seals (stole some time anyway).

Don't know if just pasting this in works. If not then type 'Roof seals' into the search.
