Cockpit carpet
 

Anyone have a source or one they're getting rid of... or for sale that'll fit an '89 292 SR1...?

Any ideas about finding something without spending $600 - $800?

my interior guy made mine for $250 or so

snap in
edged

nicer than original

Matworks has been supplying them for Formula. Was directed there by Magicfloat. Haven't ordered them for the 34 PC yet, but will send them templates.

I got mine from www.snapincarpet.com

They look great Mopower. Could I be so bold as to ask how much they charged?

Matworks is also looks cool Treads. I guess I'm going to have to make up a pattern and get some quotes.

Thanks guys.

matworks was $6/sqft last year

Think I paid a little over $400. 3 years ago. Sent my old carpet for a pattern and had the new one back in just over a week.
Great service and 1/2 the price of Formula:cool:

BTW I got the snaps in a plastic bag and installed them myself just to be sure they were in the right spots.

Thanks guys. I appreciate your sharing. Sounds like I'm going to get me a rug. :D

Hey Griz, Never did hear how the footrest deal worked out for your wife. Let me know.

Hey Ragged. Worked great. I put a 3/4" plywood bottom in it and screwed it to that. It really helps her, but here lately she's taken to just riding in the back seat. Says it's a lot less jolting for her. :eureka: As she gets better I'm sure she'll want to take her navigator position back. We appreciate your help.

I bought a 6'x6' piece of marine carpet from Lowes, cut it, and installed snaps for < $45... It looks great and I don't worry about stains!

Thats a great idea!
Just make a template, cut the carpet and install snaps. Then bring it to a local canopy/marine upholstery shop and have the edges bound. I can't see spending more than $100 total.

These ideas are getting better and better. :eureka:

Thanks zdek & mtgbiker.

I looked into binding the edges and here's the deal... If you get the edges bound, the material that they will use is NOT UV resistant and will deteriorate like within a year (the binding place told me). Another (better) option is to get the edges whipped - they wind thread around and around the edge... I looked into both - my local people wanted between $4 (binding) and $10 (whipped) per foot. That would mean the whole perimeter and the slits for the seats... that's a lot! I'm young and know there will be mishaps on the boat, plus the Lowes carpet seems to have a very good backing - for <$50 TOTAL!!! :drink:
