So few questions. 65 deluxe has a 2 piece roof lining which i dont think is original? Thoughts? The floor panel has a steel ridge/groove that runs the length of the car. What was this for? Fuel line? My car was a hydro converted to dry so trying to figure out the brake/ Fuel line locations. Also the shell has some rear holes that i thought were for seatbelts but location seems incorrect. Did these have rear belts is so where were they mounted? |

Hoodlining was 2 pieces in 850. My early '66 S has 1 piece lining which has holes punched into the cant rail to take the ends of metal stays that hold the hoodlining up towards the roof. Photo does not seem to have holes in cant rail. The long half-roll on the drivers side of the tunnel is for the battery cable. Your photo shows the battery cable held to the clips meant for the RH hydro pipe and brake line. The fuel line is in about the right position. If you look at the clips spot-welded to the floor on both sides of the tunnel, there is a large tang to hold both Hydro lines; the smaller tangs are for fuel (LHS) and brake pipe (RHS) - as viewed from driver's seat. |

A clarification on the hoodlining: The holes I referred to on the cant rail aren't visible in your photo because the 2 piece lining still in your car covers the top edge of the cant rail. This vertical edge has 6 holes on each side to take the stays of the 1 piece hoodlining. I thought the holes were along the curved section of the cant rail - but they are above the curved changel. |

I'm not 100% sure but give John a call and see if he does have them. Cheers Rod |

Thanks for the comments Clean them up (remove scratches etc) and have them zinc plated. They will look good, and you still need them to cover the brake, battery and fuel lines anyway. Bill |
