Kevin my carpet kit had the snaps supplied but I am missing a couple of the
ones on the floor - the 1/2 inch posts/fasteners that they snap onto. If anyone
knows a source of them or an equivilant replacement that could be pop-riveted
on I would appreciate it. My other alternative is to use velcro strips to hold
it in pl;ace. I have seen that mentioned on the list before.

Subject: Big Thanks - and carpet question
First a HUGE thank you to everyone who has given me advice and help over
the past couple months of Spitfire projects - I am seeing the light at the
end of the tunnel and I am hoping it is not a train! With list help I have
managed to strip and dispose of my parts car, store the saved parts, swap
differentials, refinish my dash and recarpet the interior. Next week I plan
to install a new top. Couldn't do it without all of the experience in this
list!
My next question - the carpet set that I got is very nice (thanks to Jeff
at LBC Co.) - but it does not have the nifty snaps that my old one had to
hold down the footwell mats. Does anyone know of a source for these things?
They screwed into the floor, then a snap ring was stitched to the underside
of the carpeting. Held the mats in place but they were easily removed for
cleaning.
Once I get the little guy done I am going to take a bunch of pictures and
find a place on the web to stick'em!
