[TR] TR6 - installing carpet snaps - is there a trick to this?

[Lanoway, Brian]

I'm trying to put in a 'magic carpet set' from TRF and the hardware kit
came with female and male snaps to put on the underside of the carpets
to hold things down.  Right now, I'm trying to use my existing male
snaps previously installed on my floors - which is a real pain because
you're trying to match things up blind from the top side of the carpet.
I guess I could alternatively somehow mount the new male and female
snaps as a set and drill through the carpet and snap sets to position
and create new rivet holes in the floors.

No apparent option seems easy to me and I'm struggling with this like
the real amateur that I am.  Does anyone on the List have a 'trick of
the trade' to easily locate and install undercarpet snaps?

Thanks so much in advance,
