I quickly run out and double check the carpet fixings....

This is a post TS60000

THe main tounnel cover is held on by four snaps, two on each side.  As 
you look at the tounnel it starts wide and narrows down. the width stays 
the same until just before the shifter then it narrows down to the body 
tounnel.

The snaps are located along the section before the shifter where the 
width remains the same.  One on each side at the front and at the rear of 
this centre part about an inch up from the flange.

The rear tounnel carpet section sits over the rear of the main tounnel 
carpet section and has a snap near each corner about an inch up and an 
inch in.

The rear shelf carpet has a snap near each rear corner.  Where it goes 
down to the floor in front it has a snap near each bottom corner on each 
side of the tounnel.  So the rear shelf carpet has 6 snaps total.

The rubber floor mats are anchored at the front by clips on the bulkhead. 
 The rear two snaps on the rubber mat will tell you where to locate the 
mat snaps on the floor.

Then of course there was no carpet under the seats (If there were it 
would be an excellent place for wet carpet to start rust.

EXTRA CREDIT:

The bottom mat in the boot of my TR3A came from the factory with a snap 
near each of the four corners.  Evidently the pre-TS60000 TRs many not 
have had snaps holding the boot bottom mats in place.

If you have a pre TS-60000 3A with different carpet parts please ignore.
