Well this job is on the to-do-list. I only intend to do the horizontal surface plus the edge and underturn, leaving the Austin badged vertical surface as it is.
I have 3mm samples from a rubber matting supplier in Brum. They mention supplying for running boards on vintage motors. When I asked about a self-adhesive product that they do, I was immediately warned off as not strong enough for the intended purpose. They said they would always recommend painting with a primer before a good contact-adhesive was used.
I am not sure whether my shaby rubbers are the original - see photo. But I guess that there are many patterns in use? The other photo is the sample I have been sent.
I notice a couple of recommends for Tiger Seal but it looks a hell of a job to spread enough over the required surface. I had Evo-Stik in mind using a big tin and a paint brush.
Any up-to-date ideas.
