It came with a couple of 'parts cars' that I bought in 1985. The top was on a TR-3B (1962) car which was crashed in the front end (major damage, but the hard top was untouched). I don't know when the accident occurred, but the parts car appeared to have been sitting for a long time. What I am trying to say is that this hard top had spent most of it's life stored in a garage, and was very complete and original.</span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1486129292369_9822"><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1486129292369_9444"><br></span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1486129292369_9821"><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1486129292369_9444">The drip rails were aluminum, and I did not notice any plating, anodizing, etc. They were probably polished before assembly onto the top. Remember, mine came off a car that was built in 1962 and, as we all know, the British were prone to making a lot of changes as they went. So what they used in 1962 may not have been what they used in 1955.<br></span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1486129292369_9843"><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1486129292369_9444"><br></span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1486129292369_9844"><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1486129292369_9444">I too, can send pictures if that would help, but it sounds like you may have what you need.

suppliers. Moss says NA. It is a polished, perhaps plated or
anodized, aluminum piece that can probably be replicated from
a strip of aluminum with a short rolled edge. I have a top
with the drip rail in tack if you'd like a photo or two.</div>

I thought they were stainless steel. Mine appears to be. I have
never seen them listed for sale.<br>
