Interior Light Cover Re-Trim Kit
Suitable Models: TR6
$71.44 – $84.08 exc. VAT UK Customers ONLY - VAT (20%) will be calculated at checkout.
Although this interior light only had a short production run in the TR6 range, if you do have one – then don’t let its old shabby materials ruin the rest of your interior…after all, this part is literally under a spot-light!! Please see below for more in-depth descriptions, videos, and frequently asked questions (FAQs).
During the production of the Triumph TR6 an interior lamp plinth was added at the rear of the car, just behind the seats. Needless to say this beneficial for anyone who used the factory optional extra hardtop on a regular basis. This interior light was mounted to the rear section of propshaft tunnel with a metal encasement fixed to the drive shaft tunnel panel. This metal case was finished in a thin carpet-like material with a very short cut pile.
Although not a common sight, John has owned many TR6s enabling him to template up to this original part with accuracy. As a result John Skinner Ltd can offer a pre-sewn re-trim kit suitable for recovering this light plinth. We use Moquette as standard for this cover, as this is a short-pile, carpet-like material akin to what these were originally supplied in.
DETAILS
- Available in Moquette, which is a wool-based automotive material with a short-pile finish, commonly used in Jaguars of this era. Wool or Nylon carpet; with a rubber latex backing.
- Pre-sewn cover ready to be upholstered to your original or after-market light plinth casing.
Why JSM?
- Made in England, only 50 miles away from the original production line.
- We source only the highest quality raw materials to manufacture our products – demonstrated in supplying the Wool carpet material used for the restoration of Daimler Princess belonging to the King of Sweden, Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden.
- John Skinners offer the widest range of colour options on the market – including all the correct original colour combinations, as well as many more custom shades.
- Worldwide material and colour samples service is available upon request, to ensure you get the look and finish your car deserves.

- JSM has contributed to various notable Triumph restorations including TS01, and the much-publicised Triumph TR2 “Jabbeke“ MVC575 restoration project. We also worked closely with Mark Macy of Macy’s Garage (USA) on his wife’s TR4 – becoming the only Triumph TR to ever score the perfect 100-point score in the TRA Concours D’Elegance – back in 2018. Mark Macys own TR4 came in second place, at the same show – also with JSM trimmed fitted.
- Access to help and advice when it comes time to fit these re-trim kits – we have been making and fitting these same parts for a long time – we know all the tricks, and we are more than happy to assist you or your trimmer should you get stuck. As noted above, John himself has used this part on a number of his own TRs, so we are well versed in the fitment process.

In the meantime, basic guideline shipping costs are outlined below.

🇪🇺 EU Shipments / Brexit 🇪🇺
As of January 2021, the UK is no longer part of the European Union (EU). As a result, several changes have been implemented which affects how EU based customers now purchase products from the UK.
It is not as problematic and complicated as people say. John Skinner Ltd sends hundreds of shipments to the EU; and rarely do we encounter any issues at all; and this is due to us working closely with our shipping agents to offer two choices that help to simplify the process for you.
You now have 2 Options you can choose from for shipping John Skinner products to the EU:
============
Option 1: Standard International Shipping
This is the ‘standard’ method of purchasing items from the UK, since the UK left the EU (‘Brexit’).
You will pay John Skinner Ltd for 1) the parts ordered, and 2) the shipping cost to ship from the UK to your address.
You will NOT be charged UK VAT (20% Tax). (Before Brexit, you would have been charged UK VAT @ 20%).
Once your parts ship, you will be contacted directly by our shipping agent (normally DHL), who will request payment from you for 1) Your Local Country Tax based on the value of the John Skinner Invoice, 2) a small admin fee (normally around €15). Once this is paid, your goods are released from customs and delivered to your address.
You will NOT be charged any Duties/Tariffs. All the parts we supply are made by John Skinner Ltd in the UK, and we provide all the correct paperwork & documentation and sign declarations to ensure that no Duties/Tariffs apply to our goods. (This is often the part that most people get confused by with Brexit – they assume that anything they buy from the UK incurs Duties/Tariff charges – our products are 0% Duty/Tariff rated).
Note that this shipping option is the default choice offered when Jonathon is raising your initial Quote; if you wish to discuss the second option (see below) – then just mention this to Jonathon once he has made direct contact with you about your enquiry.
============
Option 2: Prepaid Duties & Taxes *** VERY POPULAR OPTION ***
To simplify the purchasing process, you can choose our Prepaid Duties & Taxes option.
This process is becoming the most popular option for our EU customers as it makes everything very simple and straightforward, akin to how it was before the UK left the EU.
We will calculate & include all applicable import duties, taxes, and customs fees in your order total – and everything is paid up front to John Skinner Ltd.
Once the parts are ready and are shipped – you will NOT pay any additional costs, or have to do anything more – your order will be delivered to your address as normal. Our shipping agent (normally DHL) pays the Local Country Tax on behalf of John Skinner Ltd and they Invoice us for this later. This ensures that you won’t face any unexpected charges upon delivery, and your order will clear customs smoothly and quickly.
You can enjoy a more streamlined shopping experience with this option; like Brexit never even happened.
If you are interested in this option, please let Jonathon know once he has contacted you directly with your updated Quote via email; and he can update the Quote accordingly to reflect this choice.
