    56/57 Carpet screw locations

    Hi Members ; I am getting ready to install new carpeting in my 1956 Corvette . Could anyone post some pictures of the number of screws used and their exact or approximate location as installed at the factory ? Thanks kindly , Jim (1845)

      I have to go look at my '57 but when I replaced the original carpet in '65 I remember laying the new carpet in place and locating the existing holes through the new carpet with an awl. ('Shoulda kept the original carpet and soft top material.)

        Thanks Mike and Steven for your replies . Do you recall how many screws you ended up using ? I did look in the 56/57 assembly manual and on page K9 sect A sheet 1,it shows only 4 screws & washers being used. They seem to be located on the inner top LH and middle section of the passenger side floor piece and the same on the driver side . it seems odd that only 4 screws are specified to hold all the carpet in place. They must have used adhesive for all other areas to hold it in place. Thanks again for your comments

          Jim,

          FYI - the 56-7 Judging Manual has 2 nice photos of the carpet screws.
