Periodically the question arises as to correct carpet for a 19** 914. Here are some close-ups showing coloration and texture of OEM 1970 US-spec material. The quarter is placed to show scale. As most are aware, from a distance the color looks consistent, but upon close inspection, the carpet comprises different color fibers.

Great pics. So is that Perlon? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I've heard Perlon described as "felt"...

So is that Perlon? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I've heard Perlon described as "felt"... I've often wondered about that term. Later model year 914s had what I would term "loop" carpeting, but I'm certain that description isn't precisely correct either. Paul |
