Best carpet set?

Post by bluemoggie1970 »

Hi,

This is a question really for all of you that have replaced your carpet set. I've seen quite a few on the market, Need a light blue set for my Traveller (1970).

Now here's the question...Who make the best? Bull Motif? Newton? ebay sellers?

Newton say "Recently we decided to make our carpets more attractive by actually moulding the gearbox and handbrake tunnel carpets so that they fit these tunnel areas properly." Are they different from the rest then?

I dont really want the carpet overlap by the handbrake or is this unavoidable?

Appreciate your findings.....

So, does that mean then that there is no overlap of carpet near your handbrake? Maybe the guy who fitted mine didn't take the time over it that it needs?

no overlap where the handbrake is, it just fits over it and is very neat

There was a recent post from (I think) Jonathon who stated that the best set to buy was from BM and that Newton set was not the best - not up to the standard of the rest of their trim
