[Healeys] Interior Fits

[BJ8Healeys]

I found when fitting my carpet that it helped first to make a template.  I
taped together sheets of paper to follow the outlines of the bare floors,
for example, filling in the center with other sheets so that a solid
template resulted, and then transferred the template outline with chalk to
the new carpet (turn the carpet over and reverse the template to chalk the
outline on the back of the carpet in reverse.  From there, it was easy to
trim the carpet one time and be sure it would fit tightly and neatly.  I did
this for all of the pieces of the carpet, including those that glue to the
firewall and footwells.
