Bryan-
The dash is only available in black from the traditional suppliers. However, I
saw a TR6 at a show in Chatanooga a year or so ago that had an interior,
including the seats, dash, and door panels, fitted in light tan. It was very
tasteful and well done. Although I personally prefer a more original approach,
this car stood out because it was unique. I remember the instruments were also
customized to have a white background. Looked good also.
Rimmer Bros. was at VTR this year with catalogs, but no inventory. I assume
they are doing the same at Triumphfest. I have not known of their attending
many other meets in the US previously; however, they are making a concerted
effort to show a presence lately.
My advice is to buy the ring.
Good luck.

Some questions. I have not yet made up my mind on what the interior of my
car will be (probably black, but not 100% sure yet). Anyway, it seems that
the dash/crash pads/plinth are all offered strictly in black. True? If I
decide to go with a tan interior, wouldn't this look strange (I think so) to
have black dash, etc.? Do I have to get these done professionally if I want
a different color than black? Or are there other kits available that will
work?
One other thing. Does Rimmer Bros come over here, like they are to
Triumphest, very often? I ask because I have already used my budget for this
month at TRF for their half-price sale items, but want to take advantage of
some of their interior things (seem to be quite a bit cheaper than TRF, and
somewhat cheaper than Moss on some items). If they come over at least
once/year, I'll wait. If not, I'll just go buy the diamond ring now so that
I can get what I want! ;-)
Any advice is appreciated. >>
