Carpet pattern

Post by davidpidge »

Is there somewhere you can get a pattern for carpets? I'm looking for a traveller 1000 carpet pattern. I might want to buy genuine carpet in the future but would like something home made until then!
Thanks!

You could make your own out of wallpaper or something similar.
I'm sure I've seen pictures of carpet sets, so you can get an idea of what the sections look like.

I did this with my last moggie. Just cut some carpet based on what I found on the internet but i'm thinkin i'd get a decent-ish looking set if I had a proper pattern. And it'd be much quicker!

Thanks for the offer. I am 30 miles away though so will probably see if I can find some closer.

Have you asked your next door neighbour?
30 miles is nothing for something like this.
A pattern is, by definition full sized, what would you do if I sent you a PDF of a pattern, print it on an A0 printer?
Plus you get to meet a local, helpful Minor owner, what's not to like?

I do have a partial carpet set in light blue if its of any use to you, all you need to do is come pick it up!

From memory, its basicly the footwell sections - front and rear that I have - so you'd need to do something with the wheel arches and transmission tunnel.

Thanks for the offer but I just found a traveller about 1/2 a mile away! I went and spoke to the guy and the carpets are out the car whilst they're working on some stuff. The joy of owning Moggies. Not too common but common enough to make life easier!
