Cab carpets

Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by Lardy, Jan 19, 2014.

  1. Been looking around for some carpets that go under the seats, all will be revealed soon ;)
    Anyhow, I've had a look on the general sites but wondered if anyone had any recommendations or pictures of what they've installed/ bought for your buses?
     
  2. If it's to go over the wheel tubs and seat plinths, you could use good quality lining felt with a stretch in it...colours are a bit limited though...you'd need to stick it down, so either direct onto the metal, over dynamat, or even on top of the original rubberised mats. Alternatively, use normal car carpet, but it's more involved....cut small V-notches to get the right curves and stitch them together so it holds its shape....I did this a good while ago and it looked great....I've since changed from carpet to Flotex, which has no stretch to it at all, so I'll be going down the stretch lining route, if I can find a good colour match...otherwise, stock rubber matting over Dynamat

    Have you looked on fleabay? There are some cheaper ones on fleabay if you look for VW t2 mats (or VW bay mats).

  14. Any pictures?

    What did you use to stick it down?
     
  15. Haha! Just found some rubber ooo err ones on fleabay from JK so might just go for them. PO replaced the arches and neglected to reinstall/ keep the carpet metal piece so I'm gonna have to stick em down hence the carpet thoughts.
     
  16. Thinking about it I'm not the tallest but sure I won't be getting carpet burns when I jump out lol! :)
     
  17. Anyone got those sisal mats from Madmatz? If so what do you think of them?
     
  18. I went for the incredibly cheap version. Black self-adhesive carpet tiles from Poundland.
     
  19. Not quite the look I'm going for now unfortunately. Think I'll be getting the rubber mats. Cheers :)
