Is this the right stuff?

yes, correct carpet material is tricky for the 914s if its loop pile square weave type.

periodically i make searches for the 74 brown carpet as stock, just in case i ever needed some to repair or fix a section of carpet. i have a set of rhd carpets i made of correct brown stock i wisely bought at the time (35 years ago, gee time flies! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) ). i got the raw stock in a roll from porsche australia back then!

i have stumbled across this stuff and i think it could be close when it comes to black interiors. but never the brown.

for an early 74 up to end of feb 74. this looks like it could be close to right?

color - anthracite.


and for later 74 mottled/salt and pepper.
charcoal - top row.



it would make sense that VW was using same or similar carpet stock to MB - at least for the top spec of the line VWs, which 914s and sciroccos were.

but again you would need samples to see how close these really are.


alas i have never stumbled across anything remotely resembling the 74 brown loop pile.
which is a shame. i understand that some LEs came with brown interiors too. creamsicles i think.
