Thanks for clarifying the matter Joe . Any ideas at which commission number
it changed ? Although it may be a pain I would love to obtain the stainless
trim . Plastic trim doesn't last very long in the Africa sun and heat . Not
on a daily driver .
I've been out of town for a while now . It's good to be back at my computer
again . Just a lot of e mail messages to read through though :-)
Kind regards .

It means "Early Mk1's" In fact, very early Mk1's. Apparently Triumph
quickly realized what a pain in the ass it was getting those stainless
strips
into the channel and got rid of it. (That and the cost!)
