6/28/21: Well it took a few days to get back to my floor mat project due to other obligations. After sand blasting and painting all of the pedals and associated items, I did finally get it installed. I placed the mat into position several times checking the factory markings and most were spot on. The only hole that was not marked was the foot starter. To get the location, I sprinkled baby powder on the metal floor and pressed the mat into it. The imprint and the subsequent hole, came out pretty good. All of the holes lined up nearly perfect except the brake pedal. I followed the factory markings on the back of the mat, using a 5/8” hole punch and was off by 1/2”. It was one of the only holes that I didn’t check. Can’t figure why? I ended up using super glue to reinstall the punched out hole, let it set and re-punched the hole. You can see it if you really look, but it looks and functions much better than it did with the offset hole.

Overall, I an happy with the results. Now to tackle installing the firewall pad.
