Do you mean the tonneau cover behind the driver? If so what part, because TVR supplied the whole tonneau cover in one piece and teams then cut them into a minimum of three pieces, sometimes 4, for installation?

I have a variety of pieces, sufficent to do the whole thing, in various configurations. I also have an exhaust cover.

Ah, right. You might struggle, as many cars simply have a hole. I have one tonneau with the hole 'liner' attached, but it is very firmly glued in and last time I tried I could not dislodge it without damaging it.

As an alternative you could cut a neat oval hole and then cover the otherwise sharp edges with a rubber 'U' trim section to stop it chafing the harness. Somewhere like Car Builder Solutions is good for this stuff - much cheaper than racing specialists.

Et voila
