Technical Anyone have a source for vintage looking rubber floor mat(no diamond plate)

I’m thinking about ordering a rubber mat from snyders ford parts for the t roadster project but was wondering if anyone out there has found something vintage looking that might be in bulk. I want to do the interior and trunk and if I go with Snyder’s I would have to order two mats at $100 a piece

 

I’ll be watching. I’d like to replace the mat in my Fargo. I know I can get it from “Roberts but the one I bought from them was so brittle that it started to crack/break after a couple of years! I need pyramid shape mat.

I’m not trying to say “Hi to Jack” but figured that more I put would generate more looks!

 

i found rubber carpet runner at home depot used it in my 27 tudor ,may have been with the bulk carpet, looks period and was not pricey

If you want authentic, this is the place. Might be pricier than the home improvement store though.

 

Wow cool stuff! Thanks

 

I ordered Model A Tudor uncut mats from Snyders, 1 my for my '29 A V8 Avator and also aother that I cut for use in my '33 Plymouth Coupe. Nice heavy rubber and worth the money. '29 has a '39 trans and different pedals etc so cutting my own hole was a must. Ditto for the '33 Ply.
Good stuff!

I used the Home Depot ribbed black runner as well. Looks good and it was cheap. I just used tape on the backside to join the pieces together as I needed it just a bit wider that the 36” roll.

 

Thanks, this is definitely what I was thinking

 

I got the pyramid stuff from Amazon. Came in 3 or 4 foot width and various length.

 

I have purchased some ribbed rubber from this company:

I got the pyramid rubber matting from this place in Pa. that I used in my '40. Think it came in 4 foot widths and any length you want if memory serves me. It was a fresh roll and was very pliable, easy to work with.

 

I really like this look. Everyone asked me what carpet I was going to use. I told them, no carpet, pyramid rubber matting.

 

Thank you. I will check them out.

 

I'll second these folks. Good quality and easy to deal with,IMHO

 

Well that’s EXACTLY the stuff I need. Has it stayed pliable over the years?

 

...It's only been 4 years, but so far so good.

 

Pickup truck rubber bed mat.

 

My daily driver deuce PU has the floor covered with a cheap black rubber exercise mat. It's wearing out but I can't seem to source a similar product. It conforms to the floor really well. I'll keep looking.

 

Thanks for the reply! You can update this in six more years if you don’t mind...LOL

 

Darn, I just went to the web sight and the pyramid is listed in 36" and 47" wide but says Not for Sale on both listings. Looks like a Phone call is in order come Tuesday morning.

 

Go to Amazon and search on "rubber floor mat roll". You'll get pages and pages of options. Here's what I used:

 

What I got from Amazon is what lothiandon1940 showed in his photo. Rubber-cal 03-W178-04 cost was $49 for a 4x4 piece. Was told 4 to 6 weeks but it showed up in 3 days.

 

Is the diamond-matting capable of conforming to curves/etc, w/some heat added? I'm guessing toeboard/tranny-humps would have to be cut/spliced/(sewn(???) to get a 1-pc "factory" look ? What would make a good thin flexible backing to glue/seal the edges onto? Carpet is nice, but a good *sealed* 1-pc rubber floor mat is very useful.
Who'se done this already?
I also really like it for pedal inserts, looks really good.
TIA.

This is the 40 style floor but with no holes as I hung my pedal rather than have it enter through the floor.
It is the first time I didn't use carpeting., and I like it. It fits my "roadie" theme.

Up close. Who needs carpeting? Rhino liner on the hump. It has sound deadener and hemp mat under it.
I like it.

 

...Just as a side note: These folks have just about every little clip or fastener that you might never find anywhere else.

 

I made contact with them and they no longer have the diamond mat. The story is the company that makes it has a machine built in the twenties, the company had to move to a new location and during the move the rubber machine was damaged and is not repairable.

 

...WOW! That's not good news.

 

If you would like a small pebble grain, check Lowe’s for this mat. 3/16” Thick, cuts easy with a sharp utility knife, and the one roll did my entire 32 sedan with some left over. $59 I think.

 

@Bandit Billy I like the shifter/hand brake "formed cover", is that a stocker that you found or a hand formed one? I'd like to finish the center/floor mounted hand brake with something similar...made me wonder if I could heat form some ABS?
