In my interior I have some sharp ninety degree corners where aluminium sheets meet. I'm looking for some black edge trim to go over the corners to make them IVA friendly and look a bit tidier. Unfortunately as with everything internet based I'm struggling with what to Google for. I started with Car Builder Solutions and Woolies, neither of them seem to sell an outside right angle trim. Woolies did give me a hint though, what material should it be? I assumed rubber?

Can anyone suggest what I should be searching for, then hopefully I can find a source.

this is probably far too big but may give you some ideas

Baines are really good, I think they supply many others in the trade.

you could just get some plastic 90 channel section from B&Q

It doesn't have to be rubber, aluminium Cope Mouldings will do the job,

As here:
Side Repeaters

Is it just for the transmission tunnel? I used some aluminium profile to go over the bare carbon edges on mine. It has a large radius which feels fine on the arms although I didn't need to IVA this car as it was already registered under SVA and I was just refurbishing some of it.


carbon tunnel trim


inside

Can't remember the exact profile I used but it was something like this. https://www.aluminium-online.co.uk/product/aluminium-architectural-section-la206/?attribute_pa_length=600mm&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAuNGuBhA kEiwAGId4atml_9O9Q4kaKOB5dfsM3j2uidosk8j7MY_Xa5rtj8O9EHekRKcOlBoCN5IQAvD_BwE

if its for the tunnel, you could cover it with nylon carpet

this could also work

If it's the edges of your tunnel, I had the same issue for my SVA and used rubber tadpole trim bonded to the underside of the tunnel top panels.

Cheap and easy to do, got through the SVA and looked reasonable enough to just leave in place afterwards.

It's for the tunnel and for the outside edge. Here's the interior with the aluminium panels shaped but not rivetted;




That rules out carpet as it would have to be everywhere and I want to keep as much exposed aluminium as possible. I do quite like the idea of aluminium on aluminium though. I was going to go for a contrast black plastic or rubber, but a nicely finished (even slightly different grade) metal edge would work.

Agree - Ally interior is good.

Description

My tunnel top was removable (held down with dome head cap screws).

The rest was bare Ally, except the sides where it was the inner faces of the GRP.

You need to search for hockey stick aluminium
