MG TD TF 1500 - Little details question

I am working on the carpet. I don't have a picture of if there were bolts or flat head machine screws for the two holes in the top of the footrest.

Chris says the lower screws were round head black screws. I would like to confirm that also.

Does the small piece of carpet that goes against the firewall and over the transmission tunnel go over or under the passenger carpet?
Bruce Cunha

The firewall pieces lay over the trans carpet.

I believe they were bolts.

Wood screws were black oxide to blend into the carper

Here is another question that Bruce asked that I don't have the answer to. I never documented it during various restorations and now my brain is too feable to try to remember.

Does the front passenger carpet go just under the footrest or does it extend all the way up the firewall? So in essence if you did not have the footrest you would have carpet covering like the driver side.

Some kits today have full carpet and some have just enough to go under the footrest.
Christopher Couper

It is a little more interesting in the carpet kit I got. The trans tunnel has an additional piece that goes over the right side of the transmission tunnel. It has a slit to allow it to contour the side of the trans tunnel.

I assume it goes down on top of the passenger padding and the passenger carpet fits over it. For cars with the footrest (mine does have the rest), it is all covered by the foot rest.

I don't know if these are useful for you or not.

Thanks La Vern. I will finish the foot rest installation tomorrow and post pictures.
