how to lay carpets in a traveller

Post by GPO_Van »

I read a brilliant blow by blow account of laying a carpet in a traveller with great pictures, just can’t find it now, anyone know it,
Thanks

Think you'll find it on the Newton Commercial website.

I wouldn't buy their carpets again and quite a few of my mates are of the same opinion. Andrew Chaplin from the custom and modified section wrote a very good article on making your own carpets (3 Newsletters).
I recall somebody on here, and I think it was the late BMCECOSSE, who wrote that Bull Motif had the best carpets.

Hi,
You have a very nice interior to your car there Declan. Are those MG seats on a Morris Minor base??
Best wishes,
Mike.

Look the same as mine. Really comfortable but restrict rear leg room. Not a problem for me as grandchildren appear to be banned from my cars...not safe enough for modern children it seems.

Thanks Spartacus, Hi Marc, not seen that before so I've downloaded it, the one I saw I did not find directly because the tile was not specifically about carpeting, but someone else with an article on carpets gave a link to it, defo on his blog.
Nice looking car Declan.
