[Healeys] Floor Mats for BT7

[m.g.sharp at sympatico.ca]

Thanks Bob, I should have been more specific – I am looking for carpet, not rubber mats.

I recently bought these rubber mats from Moss - Floor mat Set, Black Rubber  021-430 for my side shift BT7. There were guidelines to trim for the different gear box profiles. They fit well and I am happy with the result.

Yes, the side shift / center shift gearboxes require different profiles.  The rubber Ammco mats have the two profiles molded in and you cut the excess rubber off to fit your car.

Hi all,  I am thinking of buying some floor mats for my side-shifter BT7 to save the wear and tear on the original Karvel carpet I have.   Several suppliers sell a pair of mats  that are described as “embroidered” with the Healey wings and they are listed as fitting all 3000s from ’59 to ’67.  I thought the side-shift and centre shift gearbox tunnels were different and had a different profile to the carpets, so I don’t see how these mats will fit all 3000s.  Anyone have any experience with them in side-shifter?  The ones Moss sell seem a little different and they say they fit only ’62 to ’67 cars, which would be the centre shift cars.   More generally, anyone recommend some inexpensive fitted mats to go over the carpet?  Many thanks.
