    Roadster Carpet Sets

    Our Austin Healey carpet sets include all pieces needed to re-carpet the interior Choose from our wide variety of colours in our three ranges -


    Has anyone used these guys, more importantly, has anyone fitted their carpet set for the Roadster?

    If so, are they any good.

    Their site doesn't seem to specify whether fitment is for short or long wheel base versions . Didn't the shape of transmission tunnel and hence the floorpans change when YKC took over?

      Try asking them for dimensioned patterns.

        I used them a few years back for my son's Mk1 but they supplied the length of carpet and I cut out the sections then sent
        what needed over binding back to them. I found the lady on the phone very helpful.

            1) Stick enough sheets of A4 together and cut out templates that you can use to work out how much carpet and what shapes you need. Car carpet will normally have rubberised backing

            2) Number all the pieces and mark out which edges will want whipping

            3) Manipulate the flow rate of the screen washer jets so that they just clip the top of the windscreen and dump into the cockpit - you should be in your element then !!!!!
