[6pack] Carpet Installation

[Sally or Dick Taylor]

Mike--- One way to avoid unnecessary holes would be to screw some transfer punches into the captive nuts used to hold the seat rails in place. These punches can be made by grinding bolts of the appropriate thread to a sharp point. Lay the carpet in the right place, and strike with a soft hammer or something where the punch points are. Remove the carpet and further open the holes to the bolt size with a hole puncher. (Cheap hole punch sets available from Harbor Freight).

When laying down new carpet, what are the best methods for locating the
seat mounting holes?  It pains me to cut brand new wool carpet, and
would pain me even more to end up with swiss cheese.
