Steve P Posted August 11, 2023 Report Share Posted August 11, 2023 Clearing my garage out I came across these ali trims,can't remeber where they came from or how long I've had them. Anyone identify them?, I have a Herald and a Vitesse CV. Some sort of door seal cover obviously. S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Lindsay Posted August 11, 2023 Report Share Posted August 11, 2023 They're carpet retainers but more elaborate than the simple Herald versions, they seem to have a return lip to cover the seal rather than just butt up against it? Must be a posher model! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve P Posted August 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2023 They fit over the seal but not flush as the side is deeper and hits the Herald floor,god knows where I got them. Maybe my old mini I sold in 1985. S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon J 1250 Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 They are definitely Mk1 mini door step kick plates. They screw on to the inner sill, and the curved bit loops over and protects the back edge of the door seal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve P Posted August 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 Must be from my 1st car, a 1965 Mini Minor 850 with a floor start and pudding stirrer gearstick. Never actually had it on the road legally as i crashed it through next doors garden wall trying (unsuccessfully) to do a handbrake turn when I was 17.
