James,
It's been a couple of years since I pulled the original carpet out of
CF37325U, but I believe it had the stitch attaching two pieces of carpet
across (from side to side) the carpet that fits over the large part of
the transmission cover. I also remember it being there on other TR6's on
which I've had to pull the tranny, but I don't recall now if the carpets
were original in those cars.
Then again, I could be mistaken...

All,
I ordered a brown carpet kit years ago, I ordered the best quality one.
(i
think i had a choice...and i KNOW if i did have a choice - i ordered the
best available.... ;-) )
i liked them, BUT... the one thing that bothered me was that the
transmission portion
had a long stitch (at an angle i think) holding (what appears to me) as
two
'scrap' pieces together to form a whole. it seemed an attempt to use up
the
precious bits in any way they could.
keep in mind this was not done in order to form the keystone
curve. i checked. it was a poor craft-person-ship. IMHO. i could be
totally
wrong, but my original did not have this same splice.
i was going to send it back, but shipping costs and all were too much
to deal with-when it ain't my fault. i decided, 'okay, it is kinda
hidden--i
will 'live' with it' but as you can tell i am still upset and have not
forgotten this.
i am still a very good customer to them. so i am not bashing them... but
out
of principle i should have sent it back.
i suppose i wasn't in the mood to deal with it. too bad.
just my two cents.
