Hi ,
>From my reading I believe the different floor lengths came about because of the
reclining seats that Triumph started installing in the GT6+ in 69. With the
longer floor the seats couldn't recline, so the removed the little overhang
behind the seats.
I can't find anything that mentions actual length and mine isn't in any
