Triumph TR6 - Interior Kit

Anybody know where I could find instructions on installing new panel kit?
The kit I got from VicBtit did not include any printed material.
There is really not alot to it, I guess.
I just like to read as much info as possible before starting something.
Thanx

I just e-mailed the TRF file and a link to the Victoria British guide. They are both on Rick's CD as well, by the way.

Did you also get the seat kit? For them, do one at a time so you have a pattern to go by. The panels are straight forward other than locating the screw holes:)
The best glue I found was in a spray can (red and white label). It was 3M general trim spray adhesive. Do as the product says and let sit for a few minutes before assembly. Do not try to take apart after contact though.
There are many past threads on the subject of Tricks for installing the handles back on the 2 door panels. This can be a PITB.

Have fun

Rick,
yes I did get the seat kits too. As well as new carpets and am familiar with the 3M product. (I have a big can sitting on my workbench ready to go)

Alistair, if you e-mailed something to me, thank you, but I didn't get it. Please try again.

I just checked the CD I got thru this site a year or two back and found a 5 page article on "How to redo your TR6 Interior"
which is very helpful. (I can't believe I didn't do that before posting this web quiry.)All kinds of great articles on the "Interiour"

Is in not cool to hear a chap say found it on the CD:)

Dennis, like I said let it sit for a while but be sure you are positioning it correctly.....it will NOT come off. The 3M stuff needs to "set up" and has a VERY high tack factor before cure. Cure is virtually instantaneous. What Alistair sent you is what you are reading....directly from VB. Quite frankly, I am surprised you did not get the installation instructions with the kit.

Just out of curiosity, what is the " complete interiour kit" worth these days?

Rick,
Directions, for what they're worth, came with carpet but not interior set. I haven't checked seat package yet.

From VB during last sale:
Seat Kit New Tan - $280
OE Nylon Brown Carpet with underfelt and fitting kit - $320
Panel Kit New Tan- $287

Going to place order shortly with aabestco.com for canvas stayfast top in tan - $350

Will upload pic when complete
This pic is fresh from painting last month
