Does anybody happen to know the correct name for the original underpadding in the series 1,2 and 3 Z cars. Maybe the stuff was used even after the series 3. That's the brown underpadding that can be seen under the seats and under the carpeting. I thought it was called Jute so I googled it to see if I can find a vendor that would sell a roll of it but the stuff I came up with doesn't look like the stuff that crumbled in my hands when I tore out the interior of my car. This stuff was so old it just disintegrated.

If anyone knows the name of the stuff that would be great. I thought maybe hemp but when I googled that I got pot, weed, reefer, blunts, and some other stuff on some sites. As far as I know that would be a very expensive underpadding to use in a Z car.

Thanks

Hi there

Don't know if this is what your looking for exactly but..

Doesn't look black and deteriorated and smelly so maybe it not the same stuff!!

Thanks Blox,

Just got off the trelphone with a friend of mine who is in the Crapet and Home Flood Restoration Business. Those are the people who come to your home when you have a either a flood or a blow back or some other disaster to completely clean the carpets ETC. He knows the product and may have some. He also told me that you can still get it at some carpet stores.

It's called Jute Horsehair. Its a combination of cellulose and some other natural fibers and the reason most carpet places don't use it anymore is becaise of the mildew.

So I think I am on the right track but thanks. The material I see in your picture is the newer stuff they use.
