Default Re: Tudor mats/carpet

G'day Gus. The Tudors did not have carpeting until June of 1931 with the arrival of the Tudor Deluxe. I have a Deluxe 31. The carpet extends 5 1/2"inches(14cm) back from the passenger seat pivot bolt. That front carpet overlaps the rear by and inch or two. That measurement would extend across to the driver seat as well. The carpet has 1 inch wide slits cut out from the bolt 5 1/2" back. However, I have sliding seat tracks on the driver seat that you will not on the 29. Lebaron / Bonney will send you a paper template for custom carpet. You mark the template where you wish to place the cutouts, then mail it back. Fastening the carpet to the floor in the front foot wells and rear is another matter. Carpets used a unusual crimped ring that used button snaps to hold carpet in place. See the LB catalog. Rubber mats were held by a sort of stud. Rears are, as stated, laid between the rails, over the wooden floor boards. Ron
