<div dir="ltr">Len,<div>There should be both a wood strip and a metal plate. I decided to glue my carpet to my sound/heat material feeling it would shield against wet carpets rusting my floorboards and trans tunnel . I could not get the snaps to pull the carpet down smoothly and it just looked terrible. The factory would have cut the carpet around the metal and wood, so you could remove your carpet to dry it out when it got wet. Much cheaper than actually working to keep the cars from leaking in the rain.\:)<br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Ira Erbs<div>Portland,OR</div><div><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif"> _______ _______</span><br style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif"> (______ \____1959 BN4____/ _______)</span><br style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif"> (_________________________)</span></div><div> BT7 engine and disk brakes</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>1967 MGB <img src="http://www.britishcarspecialists.com/assets/images/MG_emblem.jpg" alt="MG"></div><div><br></div><div><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px">A racing car is an animal with a thousand adjustments.

<div>Bob and Brad: Curious about this thread, I took a look at my seat
installation. Without removing the seat, wood, and alleged metal plate, I
can say that my assembly sits ON the carpet. The carpet and
seat installation was done quite a while ago. I may have
referenced the Moss video but can't remember. However, as a novice
doing this for the first time, I would have used the "remove/replace
in reverse order" system implying that that was how the original seat was
installed. I can not see if there is a metal plate in there but I do not
see a picture or listing of such a plate in the Moss catalog,
Seat Frames, Foams, Fittings..</div>
