    C2 Carpet cut out pattern

    First - let me say, the title of my post and the question I have has been discussed before ------ but I have yet to find an answer in this forum. That said, can someone kindly confirm which seat rail cut out pattern is correct.

    I have seen an illustration created by John Kennedy attached to and referenced in numerous threads - copy attached for your convenience.

    Note that the cut pattern in John's diagram has rectangular cuts in along the length of the rail cut out - about mid way. Compare Kennedy's cut pattern to the current Judging Guide - the JG has a picture of "correct" '64 carpet sections that go under the driver and passenger seats - they DO NOT have the rectangular cuts as per Kennedy's illustration.

    So...... which is correct, the JG or Kennedy drawing? Also, if the Kennedy illustration is the correct pattern - does anyone have dimensions for the "rectangular" cut - what is the length, width, and where along the length of the rail does it start and stop.

    I know I cannot be the first to ask this question - hopefully with the help of others - I will be the last.

    I saved this picture of a supposedly original early 63 carpet from this site a while back.
    I don't know if the carpet "flaps" laid over the seat track and front attaching bolt or lie under it.
    I think it looks odd but it was said to be factory IIRC..

      Each year has their own cuts, so if you are doing a 64 follow the JG.

        Frank - thank you but.... I am working a '64. Not sure if a 63 pattern is applicable.

        Alan - thank you - that is the kind of answer I was looking for.

          Does anyone know if the vinyl trim on an early 63 was installed on the inside starting at the seat bracket and going to the slit that was cut to accommodate the front bracket? The picture above suggests "no" but the judging manual references textured vinyl trim on the inside of the cut out.

            These are pictures of the original 1965 Corvette floor carpeting and the patterns I made from them to install the new carpeting in my 1965. I also used them for my '64 but did not cut the rectangle in the middle, just a straight cut from front to back.
