Carpet Template

Postby giles.holland » Fri 09.03.2012, 02:01

Has anyone got a complete template I could use to get a quote for a new carpet.

Or

Does anyone know of someone in the trade who supplies the carpet?

Try this thread.

I contacted the company involved some time ago and while they said they could make any carpets on supplied templates, they didn't keep the templates for this car.

I also contacted a few companies who advertise molded carpets, mainly US based as I couldn't find one in the UK but no one seemed interested. :(

I removed mine, cleaned them and they came up pretty well, unless they are totally wrecked, maybe try that first.

For the doors, I had some leather panels made to match the seats.

If you can't be a good example, then you might as well be a terrible warning

I made mine using some carpet from fleabay and used the old ones as template. I used standard spray on carpet glue to fix tem so they are easy to remove

You'll need hell of a big washing machine!

The main carpets are the length of the tub (Bulkhead to bulkhead) and the width of each seat plus the ridged walls for transmission tunnel and cill. Best to remove them and scrub them with a good carpet shampoo and allow them to dry in the sun.

You can't argue with Addict it is a good method but does nothing for your rusty outriggers!
