Just thought thought I would share some pictures of the trim I have added to the S2 dash on my S1.
I made it from some B&Q aluminium tile trim

This is the stuff I used

I cut it down the length removing the piece with the "DIALL" text leaving the ribbed part and the small lip. I have enough to do another dash free to anyone who can collect from Bracknell

Where did you source the trim? Can you show us what it looks like?

The other thread was my inspiration. I had been to Moss to look at the MG TC/TD trim but could not justify the price

Having owned a TC, when I realized I needed that strip I immediately thought of the MG T series strip but was absolutely flabbergasted [gobbsmacked? ] by the price. That strip would be the perfect answer but we need a spy inside Moss to find out there supplier. Can't believe a wholesaler or manufacturer would rob one that much.

Is it #57 on the drawing? If so, $229 seems absurd!

Neat job, Chris, bet you sweated over the bends!
Decades ago I used a bit of Esprit or Elite/?clat trim cut down in the same way; but being a plastic material, like the original, it too cracked up after many years. But it's Wednesday tomorrow so I get 10% discount at B&Q!
Edit: Does anyone know if Rod still lives? I met him a couple of times at Goodwood Breakfasts and he wasn't too fit. No posts lately.
