<p>Earl,</p>
<p>What color is the interior in your BT7? I think that the vinyl
covering the blocks matches interior color rather than always
being black. I'll try to remember to look at my BT7 tricarb
tomorrow. My interior is red, so the vinyl over the blocks is
most likely red. When I restored the car I matched what was there
originally.</p>
<p>And I do believe that the carpet is cur around the block as you
have stated.</p>
<p>Charlie</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">It is as John says – single screw down
through the centre of the block, and the 3 screws into the
block to hold the aluminum finishers in place, trapping the
door seal end. The blocks are covered with a thin black vinyl
material – the same stuff that is on the spare tire hold down
blocks in the boot.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And for Joseph: you were enquiring about
the same area on the BT7: from memory, I am certain that the
carpet piece is cut around the wood blocks.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My BT7 (top -shift tri carb) is all
original – all softy trim, carpets. Tonneau, soft top, and so
is a pretty good example of the way the factory did things.
The car has also been judged in concours at a pretty high gold
level score.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Give me a day or so to get out to the
garage (and unpile the car!), and I will confirm all this for
both of you, measure the blocks, and get a couple of photos.<o:p></o:p></p>

need help with another piece missing from my barn find.
There is a wooden block that goes under these trim pieces
on a BT7. From pictures on the internet the blocks looks
to be about 2" square. Is there a hole through the block
for a self taping screw that goes though the block,
through the quarter panel horizontal metal bracket and
into the wheel arch? Are the three holes in aluminum trim
piece just to secure it and none of them go through to the
wheel arch? What are the dimensions of the wooden block
and how it is installed?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
