I'm about to order a carpet set for my pick up from Newton commercial.
I see that Newton commercial's underfelt is £67 whereas ESM do an underfelt set for only £29.
Does anyone know whether the Newton commercial felt is worth the extra?
There's no photo of ESM's so I can't guage any differences.
TIA

Re: Underfelt?
I can't help you with your specific Q. but the classic latex backed jute felt at £12/m available from:
https://www.martrim.co.uk/car-trimming- ... e-felt.php
(also woolies, but they were more expensive)
is the original stuff the Minor used from the factory (or at least in the mid-60s).
I bought 2.5m (that extra half metre was worth it when my cutting went askew) of the stuff for my four door saloon.
Guessing a pickup wouldn't need so much?

Re: Underfelt?
I usually source mine new under felt on the likes of eBay and I wouldn't pay £67 for it. Go for a cheaper option, they will be just as good and you don't see it once it's installed anyway.
Another option of course is to go to a carpet shop, buy something suitable and make your own.
Best wishes,
Mike.

Re: Underfelt?
Just used one off ebay. All worked fine. Not sure if it's as effective as others but it did include the wheel arches
