Jim - that looks spectacular! Thanks for the photo.
I contacted Augie at Autos International. Although they don't advertise it, they do sell 914 carpet kits with, what they feel is, a dead-on match of carpet. It is what they normally use for high-end BMW cars, and is of excellent quality. They also sell a Perlon kit.
Also, Appearance & Performance seem to have a kit looking like yours.
Thanks for your input, folks!
Bettah getttah sample..Some of that non loop match from them..
Sheds Reeeeeeeeeeeally bad!!..
The Charcoal loop you are referring to is called Farbe 701..
IT IS Unobtainium...It came in 80%of the 73's into the US..
1.7 and 2.0
Hey I got blocked out to give yah a reply re your private inquiry..
Soooo well go this way with it.........
I can >loan< you a piece of my new stuff OEM from Porsche..
So you can compare..
Most everyone will send you a sample of their stuff..
Here's the deal::::::::::::::::::::::::
You can find a 'black or grey' loop...that is close..
You will not find a 'loop'...that is dead on with the
'Cat hair spires' weaved in into the loop..
The other thing is via the vacumm and shampoo action..
they fade away after the years (Cat hair Spires)...
My friend has a late 71 6 cyl with the 'mock' carpet..
with the receipt from Autos Int....Reminds me of a Pursian cat..
Although Autos Int. has some great items and I do feel they are
quite professional...IT ALL BOILS DOWN TO GET A SAMPLE..
The other people you spoke of are fine for the price for what you get...
Personally ...I do not care for the 'backing on it'.....I tried years ago to find dealers
that had any pieces..And went to Porsche Germany on it..No Gottah!!!
It seemed to mostly go to the NLA folks in Oregon..
(Some did go to Stoddards..But The George folks bought that up at the
Stoddards swap meet years ago...)
From there it went to George At A Atlanta..That was in 89 /90????
I scoured Georges place personally bout 9 years ago and got what was to be the last few pieces of farbe 701..The one piece I do not have is the driver side..
BTW for this book here >re carpet...
George still might have some of the other colors etc. if you are willing to change..
Porsche loaded up 4 semi's back in the late 80's and Gary bought the lot,
then sold off the rest..Thatz where 'Georges Lost Warehouse' of parts came from
for you 'Olde Timerz'...Porsche in Reno bout mid 90's canned hundreds of parts
to be destroyed..Talk about killing demand!!!Sorry no gotty!!!
