@leea posted:Btw, another picture for 2 reasons (and dang me on the second)...
- this is the closest-up I have of the "fabric" (lets avoid calling it felt
Denis advice to just go to a fabric shop is probably the best).
- the frustrating information is that that hardware used for the removable access door to the hydraulic reservoirs is available in our day. I say "frustrating" because even though I bought replacements a few months ago, I cannot remember the name of the (one, specific) company that makes these. I'll look for a receipt....I vaguely remember it being a British company.
Can I add that the door you describe is one of the coolest parts of the car?
Because it has a little sticker that simply states the car is exempt from safety regulations. Wouldn't it be the fun to show it to a highway patrol officer in the event they hassle you over safety equipment?
I'm not running the pedal box or the door but I hope to install them at some point just to have the sticker. There is some lore circulating that suggests the genesis of the exemption; Mrs. DeTomaso allegedly had some connections with DOT which got the car through. I have never done any serious research on the topic... It may be a rumor.
