close-up of correct '70 carpet, color & texture Options

[1970 Neun vierzehn]

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.

FYI - Here's an example of the original Tan or "Carmel" Loop Carpet in my `73 2L #1954 produced in 9/72. I will point out that this relatively clean carpet has been sitting in my garage closed up for 24 years since 5/85, and I was surprised how clean it was when I shimmied inside to get some pix last week!

Also of note - it is edged in a matching nylon material and backed with a clear plastic film - all still intact & in good shape as well!

However, the Driver (with pedal cut-outs) & Passenger side floor pieces were severely worn and removed a few years before it was stored & I need to replace them both, or find a substitute.

Does anyone have any ideas on where to get acceptable inserts for those 2 pieces in a matching color & material for the 1973 "Carmel" color mentioned by George above?

...George - do you folks at AA carry anything short of a full re-carpet kit, since everything else is in very good to excellent shape - similar to this example (but not necessarily concours).
