WTB original 240Z jute in good to excellent condition.

This is the dark brown padding about 3\4 inch thick that goes between the carpets and the metal floors in the cabin and the hatch area.

I can't use the modern, light colored synthetic padding that is sometimes used in restorations.

The pieces I need are the ones for the driver's & passenger's floor and for the hatch area.

Will pay shipping.

Thanks,

Pete

It has been a long time ago when i saw that stuff.. can't say that it was so thick!  At the most a 1/4 inch?  (6,35 mm!)    You also want to pay the shipping if it has to come out of europe? ?

I'm in the middle of removing my interior, here is a picture showing the thickness of the original jute in my 7'70 hatch floor area. Uncompressed it measures about 10mm (.39"). The jute under the front floor mats is more like 1/4" (6mm) in the center after years of use, but the outer edges are like 10mm plus thick.

The archives have many threads about this topic including discussions about patterns for cutting the material.  I gave up a long time ago trying to find original material.  Best of luck!

Thanks to all for your responses.

I guess I overestimated from memory how thick original uncompressed jute was in early 240Zs.

Thanks CanTechZ for that very precise thickness measurement.

And thanks also Namerow for the lead to the Roadster Factory. I'll check them out.
