Hi Richard
Can you tell me what the width of the material is? If you could post a picture of the back of the material.. I am thinking about having some reproduced.
Since we have access to such an original car , we should take advantage of it to try to reproduce of the parts not available.
I am also working on having the dash corner pieces reproduced. They are missing on most cars. Richard if you could post a picture..
Regards
Hervé

Many of these top latches have been chromed but it appears that on 3 very original late model spiders I've seen they are not chromed. Note strap behind.
Also trunk mat material underneath.

detail molding below rear valence and on sides of engine compartment lid. Known as either L5 or F1 on Re-originals" profile page for engine lid, a larger version for the valence in the rear, which were riveted on originally.

Thanks a lot so informative.. everyone should copy and save these pictures..
I am so surprised a bout the plastic trim on the side of the hood. I went and saw the car at fantasy junction and it has also the same trim..as well as the same trim for the trunk.. very informative..
Thanks again
