Carpet backing, carpet Options

[Medtner3]

just recently got my 10 piece carpet set from 914Rubber it is beautiful

However, there's no backing to the carpet and the original had a sort of clear plastic perhaps the same material that is inside the door panels

Would anyone have any recommendations as to what would be a good backing for the carpet?

FWIW, mine are stock & all shiny in back like George wrote. "73 1.7.

then they changed in 74.
which wouldn't surprise me.
there are a lot of changes that go down with the 74 cars from about nov 73 to may 74.
lots of changes.

@StarBear brought this up a couple of years ago with his car and asked to compare to mine. he was somewhat bemused at the difference in all the pieces. the configuration and differences in the backing between our cars were identical.

the thickest backing on my carpet sets are the heat formed pieces.
these are also branded with pressed in letters TSB. all three of those.
StarBears were the same. had the same brand.

the thinnest pieces have a clear plastic backing but not thick like the formed pieces.
have no impressed letter brand in them.
that plastic backing matches a roll of factory carpet i got hold of from porsche australia back in the 90s. (its that beautiful brown loop that is now unobtainium).
i would call those pieces then raw stock on the basis of the roll i got from porsche.
but the drivers side floor piece is unusual and the piece that goes behind the drivers seat.
both pieces have a kind of black backing that is half way between the standard thin clear backing and the thick heat formed stuff.

another one of those fantastic mysteries of the 914.
penny pinching rationalisation. who bloody knows.
all the little changes through the years and even during the years at random dates and times that constitute narthing but technological trivia. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
