Deluxe Moulded Carpet Set Black - Van (pre-1973) RHD/LHD
Deluxe Moulded Carpet Set Black - Van (pre-1973) RHD/LHD
This carpet set is designed for those models retaining the original Mk1 style rounded tunnel, that is to say any van or pick-up that still has its original floor-pan and was built before 1973. The Mini commercial models built up to this time retained thisthis early tunnel arrangement in conjunction with the "magic-wand" gear-change alongside the Mini 850 saloon, long after most other models had benefited from the remote gear-change.
The front mat is moulded to fit the floor pan exactly, while the rear mat is supplied as a flat piece of oversize carpet to be trimmed to fit over the tunnel. Ribbed rubber heel-mats are welded onto the driver and passenger foot wells as standard and tough plastic seat bearing plates are riveted in the correct positions on the rear mat. Steering column positions are marked underneath the front moulded mat for either LHD or RHD vehicles so that the customer can punch the correct position. We recommend the removal of the steering column from the vehicle to achieve the neatest fit and finish, and to make the job a little easier. Separate patterned flat carpet pieces supplied are included to be closely trimmed and glued to the cross member, bulkhead, wheel arches and sills if desired (though these areas were not even protected with a rubber covering originally).
