So over the past weekend I made some more progress on installing the carpet. Only to find myself again having to order a few parts that I thought I had in my stash. Before I can finish up the carpet I needed the steel bezel to go around the rubber boot of the parking brake. this will be under the carpet so it needs to be installed before I can reinstall the complete parking brake mechanism. I did take the cut off piece of carpet and fitted it to the area under the seat. I then attached the carpet with spray adhesive to the sound insulation that goes under the seat. I decided to not glue this section of insulation to the floor so it could be easily lifted out it need be. Prior to gluing the two together I took aluminum tape around the edges of the insulation to make it more durable and to stop it from fraying. I also stripped the horn and primed it to get ready for paint. Also took time to strip the paint of the horn and got it primed. That was a job i kept putting off just because of all the nooks and crannies. I came out pretty well i thought.
