I have two main cabin carpets from leather interiors, one badly stained in the back the other with a hole in the front (eaten away by rust). Unless we can source a good one, I'll be making one out of two with the join under the seats. Boot carpet may have to be left to the new owner to source.
Yes the side trims are for the doors and rear side panels.
The long section of the dash trim had a hole from the removal of the plaque so I sent it to the trimmers to have a replacement piece of leather fitted but it never arrived. Jeff has one in his stock so I will personally deliver it this time, along with the short section from the other end of the dash so they can match the leather. They have an enormous bag of black leather offcuts so it should look fine.

Aye, i did apply lots of WD40, removed the grub screw and sprayed into that as well
I gave that method a trial, but didn't spend too long on it.
I'll give it another whirl in Easter break, as need to get the rear suspension top tubes and power steering pipes sorted, both 'mentioned' in MoT

That sounds awesome, doubt boot carpet will be a big issue if i am the one lucky enough to own it, i have no doubt all the leather trims and sidepieces will look greatdragonflyjewels wrote: ↑Sun Mar 26, 2023 8:25 amI have two main cabin carpets from leather interiors, one badly stained in the back the other with a hole in the front (eaten away by rust).
