Rich,

Woolies in the UK sells felt that might match said padding. Would you say
that this padding is 3/8" or 1/4" thick?

Regards


Thomas

Thomas,

I can't help you specifically with the thin jute under padding fitted to the
gearbox cover carpet. However I have seen it in the past and it is very thin
and simply glues in place on the carpet, staying about 2" back from any
edges.

The two forward male Tenax studs are attached to the tunnel carpet and float
in the carpet. (see picture 20031 showing an original BN2 with arm rest
removed) Though they are no doubt not supplied with any kits, the under
sides are similar to the female ones where the threaded stud base will go
down through the carpet and the threaded locking ring will screw on from
below, tightening with the standard Tenax wrench into the two little holes.
