Interior trim mk2 1961
Can any body please tell me what material was stuck to the portion of body work that was the upstand for the rear seat, was it ambla, carpet or moquete.
I am at a loss as to what was on mine as I appear to have lost my notes, not surprising since it was 20 yrs ago!!!!
If any body knows of a site or other source of info on mk2 trim I would be very grateful.

The tacking strips do have rubber in them, I think, but are not just rubber, there is some fibrous material in there too. They were held in place with very peculiar things called "screw nails". I can remember recovering some of these tacking strips from a Mark 2 scrapper, and having a handful of these things which I then used on my own car. On the Jaguar production line they were actually hammered through the tacking strip into the steel, and pierced their own hole. I also secured some strips using countersunk screws as I didn't have enough screw nails.

If you're looking for material "on the roll" then there are a number of UK suppliers. May I suggest you join the Jaguar Enthusiasts Club and look in the magazine. An internet search should also turn up something.

I think the "upstands" are the two rear "towers" where the rear of the front seats are bolted to, or the "rise" where the rear seat sits on.
in my 1984 XJ-6 and 1965 S type, the fronts are covered with moquete, sort of a velvety fabric also used in the door pockets, a fabric which takes well to shaping. I think Jaguar was very consistent with the materials they used and where they used them. At the rear, they used Ambla or "vinyl".

By 'Upstand' I was refering to the area of metal that is between the support for the rear seat pad and the floor pan. ie is 90degs from the floor pan . It covers the area between the seat and carpeted floor, and streches from door to door. I cant remember wether it was moquet or ambla.The material was stuck to the painted metal. The company suggested by Jose has a diagram, area coloured blue I think, but is to small to read the detail.
Will write some more later.

that's how it is in my S type which has the original materials, the vinyl used is the same as used in the interior door panels or "cards" and the same material used in the front "kick" panels. But I guess you could use moquete for a luxurious finishing touch. (moquete being the velvety fabric used inside door "pockets" and in the case of the S type and the 420, used at the front, under-dash parcel shelf). If not, then I'm lost.

tacking strip
Many thanks Fraser, I have ordered some today from 'click on' in your thread. I have the screw nails they come in 2 sizes. Originally the strip was alledged to be (Conveyer) belting, a fact that I purposely omitted, as I felt this may mislead, as you said it is a cotton/fibre reinforced rubber type material.
I am a member of the JEC. As the years have gone(20+) by the content of the magazine has altered in line with the popularity of modern cars. The mk2 content alas in now restricted to a handful of pages, along with the parts adds( for nk2) etc.Getting answers to questions like these I would think, if answers were forthcoming they would take a long time to get!!.

Problem solved, the area between the seat and floor is illustrated in 'The restorers guide to mk1/2' by Nigel Thorley(pge 75).It looks like it is covered in ambla.The portion adjacent to the door looks like carpet.Still a lot of questions that look like need addressing, but no doubt will arise during the trimming proccess.Off the Woolies on wednesday to get some furflex.mill board and sundries.
Another queery has arisen re sunvisors.Where can the card that forms the basis of the visor be purchased in UK. Woolies only do mill board.
Thank you to those of you that came forth.
