Underfelt?

Post by Chill59 »

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

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?

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,

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