[Tigers] Carpet Installation Question

[e.coiner at cox.net]

I am installing carpet in my Mk1a Tiger.  There is a special place in hell for the designer of the carpet snaps. But I digress.

Is the pedestal that the high beam switch mounts on mounted above or below the carpet?

My previous carpet (that is not original) is draped over the pedestal. The instructions in Dave Johnson's article on TU makes it sound like it is above.  I can't trust any of the previous installation, because they had the gas pedal mount on top of the carpet.

I did come up with a quick way to make spacers for the carpet snap studs.  I have some 3/8 fuel line tubing.  I cut short pieces with my tubing cutter.
