Guys,
I am in the process of finishing up the build on my custom 300  E code Oklahoima cop car. I would really like to install a set of original rubber floor coverings, front and back, but I do not know where to find originals or even repos. Does anyone know of a source for them ?? I would really appreciate any help I can get.

The fronts are being reproduced, they are in the Mac's catalog, B7A-7013000. I suspect Dennis Carpenter is making these, not sure. The rears are not being reproduced, they are selling flat material.

Concours Parts has the front too (cheaper), search their site for that part number.

Here's a link to an Oklahoma City source....

opps...the link didn't go to the page...it's 273.
Are you in Oklahoma, or is that just where the car was from? I go to Oklahoma a lot.
Cool project...you'll be getting lots of querries on it I'm sure.

  Guys : I am chirping in here because I am in the same boat. Looking everywhere for rubber matting that matches the front floor matting that I just received from Carpenter. Front is a real good fit but no help from Carpenter on matching rubber in any form to complete the rear floor and tray of my 70D business coupe. Carpenter`s tech guy said unless it was a part item with a part # there was no way that I could buy the material , even in unmoulded form. Has anyone been able to source this same rubber anywhere? I am prepared to try to mould my own , if I can find it. Help!!    Gary

Did you look at the "universal rear floor mat" rubber on the same page as the front mat in the classicautoparts link above?

Yes, but the front mat and the rear mat they offer are not as original. Carpenter`s front is as original. Somewhere someone must have the same pattern as Carpenter`s.   I just don`t understand why no rear mat is produced. If they have enough buyers to produce fronts, why not produce rears? Who restores half a car? Maybe I should do a wanted for an original rear mat. Any ideas.    Gary

I was scratchin' my head over that question... DUH!

I seem to remember the roadster guys over on the Hamb discussing where to buy rubber sheeting, and if I remember correctly the source that came up as having the biggest selection to chose from was McMaster Carr. Just a thought.

ACC Carpets might be able to help.  They offer vinyl floor coverings. They custom make carpet sets so they might do the same in vinyl.    Ray

it's a pitty that they don't make full rubber sets or I would never even think about carpet.
As far as I understand they make the front from old original patterns as obviously the whole unit is cast/moulded hot. They all have a multidimensional shape. I doubt that you could form a rear mat from flat stock in one piece without having to make several relief cuts for the stepped floors and footwells. I suppose there are no original rear patterns left. I have looked high and low for mats for years.

No one wants to make the rear Mold is the reason........and the originals have been lost to time I would imagine.

And what is interesting is the Oklahoma City source is its a third cheaper than Mac's.....I just about done with Mac's and they horrible service.

$210.95.......Lowest Price Guarantee?
