Newbie help needed

I have just bought a Dolomite (my very first Triumph) which requires some restoration.
I need quite a bit of trim and wondered where the best place to get it is?
List so far is:
Carpet set
Door trim panels
Pedal rubbers
Under dash shelf
Hardboard trim panel set (boot and under dash)
Windscreen and rear screen rubbers

Also as the car is going to be used for Historic Rally Car Register events, I am trying to find 2 sets of period Britax seat belt harnesses if anyone can help?

Last question (for now), does anyone do a vinyl roof kit? the car needs repainting but I quite fancy a vinyl roof? Probably sacrilege but as the car is quite modified I don't think it will get me banned from the forum (or will it?)

Some of the various parts you seek vary depending on model of car, and also colour; let us know what your's is and whether you seek new or good second hand parts?

There's a Triumphall Carledo owner on this forum, a very nice man by the name of Steve, and many others with all manner of exoticry bolted to their cars, of course there will always be some purists, and each to their own, but I'm confident that no one is going to start writing (non)passive aggressive posts over a vinyl roof! Have a word with Littleport Boat Haven for a roof kit, and don't be put off by their name.

Thanks for the reply's.

Not sure what model it is as it has been considerably `messed` about with.
The interior is all black, the badge on the back says Dolomite 1300 and it dates from 1977, if that helps?

P.S, would prefer new parts as the time spent making 2nd hand parts good usually outweighs the new part costs!

if it is a 1300, the boot trim is a bit different, the side panels are shorter but it would look better with 1850 or sprint side panels.

The parcel shelf is slightly different too but you have your what you can get hold of these days.
