MG TD TF 1500 - MGTF interior

I’m after some advise.

I’ve been asked to install an interior into an mgtf. The interior kit can from Moss, unfortunately when I got the car it had been completely stripped over 10 years ago.

In the pic the kick panel is behind the roll hoop. Also if I sit the interior on the floor it sits way to high on the door opening. If I push it down between the flood and the body it’s a better fit all round.

I’m looking for some pics and or any literature to help with the installation of interior and seats

The kick panels, as you might be able to see in photos on Chris's site go in front of the roll hoop. The Moss panels come flat and have to be bent to fit around the hoop. When I did my interior
I still had the original panels to copy. I scored the backing board and then steamed and bent the panel over a pipe, if I remember correctly, to duplicate the shape of the original piece. Maybe someone has a photo of the back of the original board to show the long funnel shape the original panel was bent in. I no longer have the original panel. The floor boards do go inside the panels which go down to the wooden frame of the body. I seem to remember the being good instructions somewhere, maybe in Graham Green's book... also check the archives of this site.
