Wasn't the original set-up rubber floor mats? :)

Speaking of restorations, to finish edging a flower bed I recently  
drove the TR4 out to pick up some "vintage" building materials (aka a 
pile of old bricks) in a nearby neighorhood. The owner of the 
late-sixties modernist house mentioned she recently sold the original 
dark wood paneling to a fellow who was restoring his own late-sixties 
modernist house to "original" -- which required a terribly dark and 
depressing wood-paneled den. Sadly, my '73 house is period-incorrect for 
my Triumph, but maybe I could restore my garage to sixties 
specification? Paint a big peace sign on my old Snap-on box? What would 
you original hippie Triumph owners do?
