Brian,
I just fitted a new set from Moss. My TR4 project came with ZERO interior!
Best I can is say there is a layer of poly foam about 1/2" covered by thin off
white muslim all stiched from the vinyl side. Side hood stick covers are the
same.
Just a side note, the set came complete with door panels, wheel well covers,
tank panel and 1/4 panels. All fit perfect. Took only about 8 hours total
time to install (along with carpet from TRF).
I also used the wheel well padding kit sold by Macys Garage
(http://www.macysgarage.com).
I can supply a photo of the complete restoration if you need one.
