Wasn't the original set-up rubber floor mats? :)
Speaking of restorations, to finish edging a flower bed I recently
drove the TR4 out to pick up some "vintage" building materials (aka a
pile of old bricks) in a nearby neighorhood. The owner of the
late-sixties modernist house mentioned she recently sold the original
dark wood paneling to a fellow who was restoring his own late-sixties
modernist house to "original" -- which required a terribly dark and
depressing wood-paneled den. Sadly, my '73 house is period-incorrect for
my Triumph, but maybe I could restore my garage to sixties
specification? Paint a big peace sign on my old Snap-on box? What would
you original hippie Triumph owners do?
