'66 2+2 interior, rear seat

Postby tomcharvey101579 » Thu Jan 16, 2025 11:55 am

In the interior of a 2+2, underneath the side trim that covers the rear wheel arch, is a curved/shaped metal panel that effectively extends the line of the wheel arch forward to the door post. It takes up the depth of the rear seat, and allows a (little) armrest for those (little) users of the back seat. These are not present on my restoration project.
I have searched potential suppliers, I think exhaustively, for these, but no luck. They seem to be the true hen's teeth. Does anybody have any pointers or suggestions? Maybe form them from foam? All ideas welcome, thank you.
PS, Chris Rooke's " Jaguar etype DIY " is proving an excellent friend . Happy New Year to fellow man-cave dwellers.

Hi Tom,

I have bought trim from BAS and they were very helpful. Try the link above - it looks from the diagram that it’s No 10 you are seeking but a phone call would clarify.

Best of luck, Simon.

Many thanks Simon, good of you to respond. BAS - totally helpful people - are supplying all the gear for my interior, incuding that part, No 10. Alas, the obscure Coventry 'fix' for the plus 2 S1 is not included in their set. I will keep ploughing on. Appreciate your helpfulness, cheers, Tom
