[TR] carpet installation question

[John Wise]

My TR3A had rubber floor mats from the seats forward on both sides, they were
held up with 2 spring clips on each side.  The small carpet piece covering the
fire wall over the tunnel was glued in place with some 50 year old glue.  All
I can say is it is now brown. :-)
