Where to source a quality set of carpets for a 1750

[Paul Gulliver]

all you have to do is get the edges trimmed, whack it in and your done. Easy peasy.

Without wanting to sound to much of a cynic that sounds like advice from someone who has never done it. I trimmed my car a few years ago with a moderately priced "moulded kit". A "moulded kit" at least has the basic shape , but will still take a couple of hours with a rubber mallett to get an acceptable fit.

Before buying 6 metres of your favourite heavy duty carpet , buy a sample piece 400 X 600 and try and "work in" some compound shapes

Good luck.

I think the best advice if you are trying to do it yourself is to underlay properly and then buy the best light weight/ pliable quality carpet you can afford.

I agree David re both your comments.  Mikes ph number is 03 63281346.  He is a really nice guy, usually busy as hell, but really helpful, great to drop in and have a chat with, and really knows his stuff.  I can't imagine for a second you would be disappointed with their work. It seriously is that good.

Dave, thanks that was a very good tip.  Mike & Ronnie came down to the farm today and looked at a couple of my projects.  If we can source the right stuff, all will be able to admire a sample of their work on the Z4R at Spettacolo.

Cheers Dave

Hi David glad to hear that you got in touch with Mike and Ronnie, as mentioned they are really nice people and better still know their trade.  If they can't help, I would be amazed.  The work they did on both my Giulia Super and AC 124 Sport is seriously first class.

Would love to get to Spettacolo but with all the work I have on both at my day job and on the country property restoration project, such things at the moment are simply out of the question. 

When you are next down in Hobart it would be good to catch up.  Cheers David

The Z4R was at Motorclassica and will be at Spettacolo on Sun.  Anyone interested is welcome to pop their head inside and see the wonderful work Mike did.
