I have TVR U1750 scribbled down in my notes but TVR Parts have it listed as just the Tuscan?

Can anyone confirm if this is the part, i.e. it will be long enough?




They also have TVR U2392 listed for Tamora, more money, perhaps it's longer?

I can’t help specifically validate those part numbers but if you want to call them I’ll go measure them on mine so you can be sure to get the right ones

Thanks but I have a Griffith so know how long they should be!


Slightly immaterial at the moment as both are out of stock at TVR Parts irked

I am a wedge owner and want to convert my targa seals to the same as used on the Griffith. I would really appreciate it if you could post a picture of how the channel fits to the targa and which way round the seal fits. I bought the channel that fits the Tuscan and although a little bit long i can cut it to fit.

TVR U1750? could you tell me how long they are please before you cut them!


As for fitting I believe the channel should end up flat, open side down with a spacer strip (approx 3mm) sandwiched between it and the roof, all held on with pop rivets.

I'd presume the lip on the seal points outwards and slightly down?

Apologies i have already cut it but i have kept the bit i cut off so i will measure it for you. When i have looked at the ones for sale now they look like they are metal were as mine is alloy, dont know if this makes a difference?

Hopefully anodized or painted aluminium and not a bit of steel that will rust in a few weeks!
