I am having a hard time finding replacement carpet and seat vinyl for my brown interior 74. Any suggestions on best source for a carpet kit and seat vinyl?

The brown I had a real hard time sourcing for green car. I ended up cutting the patterns myself out of oem roll stock I purchased from George at AA. Found a perfect match for the welting at a local apholstery shop, and had them sew it on. Biggest problem is going to be figuring out a way to do the heat pressed grommets if you decide to go that route. You should be able to use your old ones if you carefully remove them, then glue them on the new. If you want a sample of the carpet and welting, pm me your address and I'll send it out to you. Replicating the factory carpet was quite expensive. There is a German brown loop that is close from one of the carpet vendors. I'll see if I can find out which one it was. Will be much less expensive going that route, and should look quite nice.
