    I went here and bought their Pyramid style mat. Worked great, but my floor is flat. Not sure how it would work over a ****** hump.

    Look at dynamat products. They have a rubber mat material I almost used in the front of my 32. Nice stuff.

    Check out some of the floor covering material for pontoon boats. Good stuff.

    Indoor/outdoor carpet sewn to fit and held in place with a few Velcro strips works well in our T Buckets which seem to attract rain. They hang up and dry out in just an hour or so.

    What do the restorer parts web sites have to offer? Henry must have put something in there.

    Henry used rubber mats in cars, at least in front(closed cars),up into the 60s. Carpet was optional, many chose it, some didn't.
    The rubber mats were made to fit the floor from the bottom edge of the firewall pad/cover to just under the front seat. After 31, most were available in black or tan.

    They have the black stuff with lines that comes in rolls at home depot or OSH. It's super cheap and does the job.
     
  16. That was going to be my suggestion ric. They have several styles and are in the HAMB Alliance to boot.

  18. I got some rubber diamond plate from a place called www.ironcompany.com. They have it in different thicknesses, I went with 1/8"- easy to cut molds fairly easily with a heat gun, made, as I understand it, from recycled tires...

    I used this stuff, it's that flooring you buy for the garage floor. Bought a roll of it at COSTCO.

  21. I used a couple of Home Depot-type doormats cut to fit and flipped upside down in my Touring car. They look good, fits great, and stay put. I take them out anytime I need to clean up the car. Total cost: $16.00
