<< Hi List
   Ya know, I have never seen another 54 TR2 other than my own.  Lots of TR3s 
 though.  I have wondered if the stock TR2 had the same kind of fender welt 
 material as the TR3.  When I bought it as a semi-basket case it had 
 deteriorating welting without the large piping common to the TR3 welts. Does 
 anyone have some close-up pictures of a TR2 or TR2 fenders
 Thanks all

I think MGA's use a soft plastic? fender bead in places, perhaps that would 
work. I recall some years ago discussing the bead with the owner of a very 
nice TR2, and I believe he told me he used some intended for some antique 
American car. He said it took some research, but it was almost identical to 
the original. How he knew what the original was like, I couldn't say!
