The factory used horsehair padding covered by the leather trim. This accounted for a lot of the rot that occured around sill boards. When I first removed the old trim from my car I discovered a mini

Wire wheels off an MGA worked fine when I tried them on my 1971 4/4. These are 15" and the offset is actually a little better than standard giving a tad more clearance between front tyre and subframe
