Carpets

Thanks. I thought it could be something like that.

If it helps, I decided to make a GRP mould of the floor, then I popped it out and gave it to my trimmer to wrap & stitch in carpet. Hey-presto, a perfect fit and as I lipped the GRP over the drop for the pedals and nr the seats, it holds itself in place with no drilling or glue. It's worked perfectly. In combination with 3mm acrylic sheet, I did the same on the side & bulkhead panels. This means all my trimmed panels can be removed and the car can be back to perfectly preserved bare ally, should the next owner wish it that way.

If you do use snap connectors, how do you fix them to the floor. The last thing i'd want to do is drill holes in the floor for flimsy connectors.

The snap connectors either come in either a screw in type or others can be riveted in. I'd go for the rivet ones, screwing into the thin ally isn't going to last

Great idea. I might 'borrow' for the floor pan section.
