Type 65 / Nippy floor covering - Colin Wilks - 29-06-2022

My 65 has some ordinary carpet on its floor and transmission tunnel. This has been fitted pretty well but doesn't look right. I have an idea that the car was fitted originally with rubber mats. Is my thinking correct and does anyone know what style of rubber matting was used?

RE: Type 65 / Nippy floor covering - Mike Costigan - 29-06-2022

They were, indeed, rubber mats; from memory three pieces - two floor mats and one for the prop-shaft tunnel. They were basically special versions of the Ruby mats, with a moulded border pattern.

Many thanks Mike. If anyone has a photo of a Ruby mat I'd be very interested.

Propshaft tunnel new replacements, as far as I am aware, do not exist due to the prohibitive cost of 3D moulding

Hi

If you look at Publication 1521 in the A7CA archive, there are details of the late Ruby mats.

Thanks both. Something to work with.

A couple more pics for you Colin, the first one from a "for sale" ad some time ago.

   

   

If you need details of the edge pattern or the rib spacing etc. let me know.

RE: Type 65 / Nippy floor covering - Hugh Barnes - 30-06-2022

Am I right that the tunnel ones are no longer available?

RE: Type 65 / Nippy floor covering - Peter Naulls - 30-06-2022

You're correct, they're not I'm afraid.

Hello
I am just about to attempt making my own Ruby floor covering.
Hoping to use 3mm castle profile rubber
Anyone had a go at this ?
