<< I looked at the Moss catalog, and find three rear aprons listed, One for
 the TR2 up to TS16472, the next is TS16473 to TS60000, and the last is
 TS60001 to the end of production. My TR3B would call for the last one. 
 
 In the Moss price list, under the part number for the part I need, it says
 use the pre-TS60000 apron. I assume the post-TS60000 apron in unavailable.
 
 So, anyone know the differences? Has anyone tried to put this earlier panel
 on a post-TS60000 car? How tough is this panel to replace?

The only major difference I can think of is the seal "track" for the boot
(trunk) lid. If you check you will probably see 2 different seals listed for
the same groups of cars. Not easy to overcome as the size and shape of the
track is different. Also the trunk locks were different, so the reinforcing
plates will be wrong. As far as the rest of the thing goes it may be the same
but I don't know for sure. Suspect it is.
