dmac800 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I went to Carpetright........... . Only cost £14 for a 0.5m x 4m strip off a roll, cut it to shape and stuck it down with double sided tape. I figured at that price I can replace it every season for minty freshness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Colonial Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Your nearest meet is the Manchester one - calling John Williams to the boards... Click Not forgetting the main event, the National Kit Car Show at Stoneleigh, Warwickshire on 5-6 May. You might want to wait until then for seats and seat belts to get a better idea as to what's available, find suppliers, try them on, etc. - those are the things that are better purchased after due consideration and patient thought. Welcome on board! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Dastardly Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 If I was doing it again I probably wouldn't bother with velcro on the carpets as there's not really anywhere for them to move. I've found that the velcro is too strong for the rubber backing and some of my strips have just torn off the rubber, taking a thin covering of rubber with them, when I've removed them. Like I said, I would try without any fixing and then add some later if it was needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rory's Dad Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Just to add to the fixing story. I have some rubber mats cut from a roll and they stay put having been carefully cut and fitted to the space available. Rory's Dad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
