Hi guys,

So it's that time of the build where i'm ordering my german square weave kit, and the company supplying is in the UK.

They have asked me the following:

Thank you for the order. Please look at the attachment below and advise us on the below 2 questions.

Please see diagram and advise which type of door sill you have.
On the front scuttle panel there is a grommet is yours oval or round.

Now my car never had carpet when I got it and is a Sept '54 build, any advice you could lend?

D.

Dino!

1 where is your heater knob on the chassis in front or behind the hand brake

2 the heater outlets are they round or Oval forward or back

3 what sills do you have

4 I would take and send some pictures if your not sure

I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

1) Heater knob is behind the the hand brake

2) Heater outlets are oval, and front near feet

3) I never had carpet in my shell, so was a little unsure as to which carpet would suit my sill

4) I have asked them to send me some pics to explain what exactly it is they are referring to when they talk about front scuttle panel 🙂

Hi Dino,

I am about to embark on the same step- I still have the original carpet in the Beetle as a reference. Let me know if you want to drop into my painters where the car is having the 'ivory treatment' to interior trim parts!

I may also be interested in purchasing a set through this supplier, price dependent? I was considering getting a trimmer to do them from scratch with german square weave so would be interested in the price differential!

Cheers
