Carpet

So far I have managed to carpet the 3 door panels and the floor. I'm getting better at cutting and folding the carpet over the edges of the panels to get a neat finish - it's especially difficult round the corners. I found that the easiest way of making holes for the carpet for the panel fixings is to use an old soldering iron (being careful not to breath in the fumes) I've done the same on the floor where I've made holes where some of the tie-down threaded holes are. By melting the hole with the soldering iron, you get a neat edge with minimum risk of fraying. I've bought some lower profile M10 roofing bolts to replace the large socket head ones that used to hold the floor down.













I've also re-fitted the aluminium edging strips along the rear edge and around the side step to protect the edges of the carpet. So, just the side panels and headlining to do now. I've cut the speaker holes and MDF reinforcement and spacer rings for the rear side panels, so need to fix these and the battens for the wheel arch boxes to screw into and then these will be ready for carpeting too.
