Now that gas tank is out , new carpet was needed. Took this pic cause it`ll never look this good again. Need to somehow mark location of the seat mounting holes. Maybe a long needle?? Seats installed before carpet.

So after a few years ,I decided to remove the front part of the carpet in exchange for a vinyl mat. Carpet was too hard to keep clean.

I know this is a bit late, but where did you get the rubber mat? Finding those seems to be a challenge now.
