My first question, what what does the 1809 from the Trim code 1809-40V represent?
Secondly, where these door trims originally fitted to LC GTRs?

I have searched here and Googled information and have only managed to decode the plates to confirm I have an Electra Blue LC GTR 11/70.

Hi
40V = Black vinyl. I can't find a reference to 1809 but it usually corresponds with the external colour.
The door trims are not original - see LC GTR below.

Thanks Bazza.
Now another question, the "stitching" in the GTR door trims I understand is actually RF vinyl welded into the trim. Is it a huge problem if the pattern is stitched for real? I can save myself a bundle of money if that is case.

40V represents interier trim colour and desighn/material

Hi
Seats are stitched - trims are welded? I am not sure of the technicalities but I would call it "heat pressed". A set of repros for the doors and rear sides costs about $660.
RF = Radio Frequency? I know it's done on a big machine with old fashioned radio valves (vacuum tubes).

stinky,
it depends on if your selling or keeping..
If you selling get the correct trims as it will come back to haunt you when its time to sell and people say...incorrect trims
They are fairly cheap anyways these days, and you only have to buy them once
the vinyl is roebuck, make sure you do the seats, infact everything original if you are planning on selling as you will get more for it being original.

those door trims you were showing the old ones, look to be LJ the lc door trims for the lc gtr's have the metal cap that is stapled into the backing board & goes to the top of the door and fits into the stainless trim only the lc gtr's & xu-1's have this.

The car will be a keeper, it just burns me that I can do the rest of the interior myself. I have access to an RF Welder at TAFE, I just need the right dieit depends on if your selling or keeping..
I'll probably end up buying a set anyway, so I need stainless strips for the tops of the door trims too? I can't see any in that GTR picture or are we talking about a piece of metal that extends the door trim to the window like this?

if it is a GTR there should be screw holes under the top piece of vinyl on the doors and under rear window, doors may have been changed but back one should be there,
back section
see the strips, they are screwwed on with very small PKs

OK then, I have the screw holes in the rear and one of the door, not sure where the other door is at the moment though. I guess I'll have to rifle through my Torana parts boxes to see if I have the strips.
Thanks for all the help!
