RHD Rubber Floormats....
Rich Oakley - April 11th, 2004 at 10:34 PM

I am in the process of collecting parts for the restoration of my '59 Beetle in the UK. One part that is proving quite hard to track down at the moment is a set of floor and bulkhead rubber mats. For the '59 model, these should be four seperate pieces for the floorwells and one piece for the bulkhead and they should all be grey.
First of all- has anybody got a set of these available?
Secondly, if none are available, does anybody have any information on part numbers of these part from their own car, or better still, any pictures.
With this in mind, if I can track down an original set, I may be able to get some repros made.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks
Rich.

Thanks Dave. I know- they're a real bugger to find anywhere. Hopefully I'll be able to get some reproduced like Wolfsburg West have for the LHD version.

I used the Wolfsburg West ones in mine and trimmed them to fit. That was the best I could find. Looks nice, but not quite right.
