Quote from Piggot's Book
"On TR2s, however the beading was in body colour material,
usually a kind of Vynide fabric and
rubber piping concoction. There were two and possible three,
different types of this beading, the variation being in the
cross-section and material type. Some TR2 beading had a string-type
centre covered in Vynide."
He goes on to say that it is almost unobtainable, and that VW beetle
piping is similar if not identical and makes a reasonable substitute.
Hope this helps
