Hi all,

I am looking for carpet for my rhd Notchback or the rubber mats. I am also looking for a dealer badge. The one I had on my car fell off somehow when I was driving. It doesnt have to have a VW emblem on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I didnt know if there were any businesses selling carpet....Thanks Kyle

Har to find carpets but not hard to make yourself with carpet from Clarke rubber or Bunnings.I found that a lot easier to make on for the tunnel,seperate front and rear,that means rear,then bulkhead one for each side and then one accross rear seat .Good Luck.

Thanks for the info. I will see what I can do...Kyle M

A long way from Ca. to here! Have you tried "Sewfine" in Tx.?

Excuse my ignorance.... as I am a newbie....

What does a dealer Badge look like???

1500S, I think our friend wants RHD. Sewfine are good for LHD methinks? Could be wrong?
I can make up a quality RHD kit (German Square Weave or similar), or supply an average quality RHD kit from another manufacturer if you're stuck Kyle. Depends on spend.

As I saw that this guy lives in Sacramento, California, USA, I missed the RHD bit! I think the message Sewfine gives is that they could cut the pedal holes as needed.

The ones I used in my Notch was a set with a moulded front mat from a place in Melbourne. After the second set of patterns being sent to them, I finally got the mats. Generally ok but pedal slots cut wrong for early Type 3. I guess it was better than the Sydney ones who never came through with the order even after 2 visits to their factory unit!!

You're right DH. The moulded ones leave a bit to the imagination, but it's better than a cold pan under foot.
Ray. Love to do carpet for the Frid. u2u me what you're after.
Brad

Found this link for moulded ones in Melbourne on e-bay

PS. Brad, those old rubber mats were nearly as cold as a bare floor!!

The kit I do is an (up to) eight piece that looks and fits just like the real thing, with a rub pad on the drivers side footwell piece, (see pic) bound edges and slots for pedals, and vents.
The carpet in the pic is a rubber backed, synthetic deep velour that I'm testing in my Fasty. Had it in for a month now and it seems to be pretty well suited. The rubber backing is great sound insulation. Remarkable difference in interior quietness with and without carpet.
