This is a follow up poll to the on-going 240Z carpet thread.

What features in a 240Z carpet kit are important to you? Please check as many choices as are applicable.

Also, please assume that there will be at least two basic kits, one for most Series 1 cars, and one for the later cars. Very early low-VIN cars are a special case, and should be considered separately.

Here are some pictures that illustrate the things we are talking about here, more photos are in the thread linked above.

Gotta be bound all the way around. I've seen them without. Bound around the mounting tab area under the front seats or it'll rip too easy.

That reminds me, I need NEW carpet soon. Great questions Arne.

Dave

I know what I want and what it looks like!

Thanks Arne for posting the poll---it's sure to be helpful.

I think finding the snap halves shouldn't be a problem and the underpadding will work itself out as well.

Bryan (LBO370) PM'ed me today with encouraging news!!

He has several carpet samples and thinks the serging of the cut-outs is no problem. He's working up a sample piece from the pattern I sent him, but he asked "Do you really think there is much demand?"

Well crew?

I trust Bryan's judgement explicitly. Pictures of the sample will be available as soon as it can be done I am sure, but in the meantime---

List interest.

I'm in for 2 sets made to order.

Let's get a tally going of who's up for this.

It's gonna happen. :classic:

I want 1 set, but all my car funds for the next couple of months are dedicated to the upcoming roof re-skin and following re-paint. So I might not be ready to get mine until late Summer.

I ran out of poll choices, Dave. We're limited to 15 choices. But edge binding is a given, as far as I'm concerned.

One correct late Series 1 set, black, underpadding included or not.

one set for me, and I'll link this to my local Z club forum for additional interest

I'm in for correct late Series 1 also.

Sign me up as well. 73 set.

I'll take one as well. 1972z. mfg 12/71. Thanks for your efforts so far. This sounds like a winner.

Other colors. For those of us not trying to be original / correct. I'm going with a grey/black/charcoal color.

Will use indoor/outdoor loop carpet. Will have the edges bound, probably with vinyl tape. (Exactly what I had in my previous Z when I had access to a commercial sewing machine). I'd do it myself, but it would kill my sewing machine.

Also, I like a rubber (attached) underpad, also available with indorr/outdoor carpeting.

280ZX 2x2?

I'd be up for a set too, but not awhile as the Z needs more pressing things right now. If they become available though, I will get one.
