For those of us buying replacement panels for our cars, here is some information I've learned from expensive experience. The floor panels sold by Moss as BMHT parts are decent, not perfect but decent. Do not buy the TRF panels unless you want to do a lot of work, there are no cage nuts for the tunnel, no holes for the body mounts, and the raised edge for the jack plug is punched down instead of up.
On the other hand, the BMHT inner sill pieces are built incorrectly, they are just simply wrong. TRF has a different vendor for their sheet metal and they have inner rockers that are built correctly.
The TRF battery box is much more correct than the BMHT box sold by Moss or VB. Either battery box had TR3 style hold down brackets so if you have a TR2 your out of luck there.
I have purchased the TRF outer "dog leg" pieces but did not use them whole. I just the lower portions off and stitched them in. They are not built properly in that they have cage nuts welded to them when they shouldn't. I cannot speak to the fit of the panel as a whole. The dimensions were decent for the lower portion I had to stitch in.
