Right angle edge protection
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.

That's the sort of thing I'm after, but £100 for 2.4m is obscene. Is that really how much it would cost?
The white foam one actually made me laugh, it's huge!! If I put it on either side of the transmission tunnel I don't think I'd be able
to select reverse or fifth on the shifter!!

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

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

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.

Can't remember the exact profile I used but it was something like this.

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.

In my tin top for everyday trudging - fair comment.
In my kit car for generally shorter trips (when I'm quite happy to dress appropriately) - just the basics will do for me.
My MK Indy (no roof, no windscreen, no sidescreens) got a couple of rain soakings. Basic unpadded interior dries out far faster and suffers far less.

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.

Different suppliers but almost exactly what I did!
