Russ,
its also ugly enugh to be a stock, in fact it is a Rootes fitting !
I have seen many rebuild cars in which it has not been replaced after
painting the soft top frame. I believe the padding was fitted to series
3, 4, and 5 cars and Tigers.
I assume the padding was a token gesture at protecting the occupants
heads from hitting the metal tubing. I bet nobody realised Rootes were
so advanced in passenger safety, shame they couldnt design an airbag
