    Vendor recommendations for carpet kit

    I've seen varying data from different sources for carpet kits.

    One specifies transmission and the other doesn't.

    One has a kit for a specific year. The other has multi-year range.

    Who sells the best kit for a 70 coupe and 4 speed?

    Also, has anyone had any problems with the seat frame studs not extending through the floor pan enough if adding insulation like Dynamat?

    I researched Al Knoch, Romeo Engineering and ACC for my 68 and finally decided on ACC. They offer specific sets for automatic or standard and year specific. The only hit I took during judging was the heal pad did not have the "IMCO" logo. I purchased through Top Flight Auto as they had a better price than going direct with ACC. https://www.topflightautomotive.com/...pans-hardware/

        Al Knoch will rotate the front carpet such that the rows of weaving will line up correctly, same as the factory did it. However, you need to call to ask about it. I think that Mid America might do this as well.
        If you still have your original heel pad, and dimmer pad if applicable, then send them in to be used on the new carpet.

        If you have a non-black carpet, ask for a color sample. Some of the blues are way off.

          Thanks, Patrick.

          I notice that Al Knoch doesn't have the padding. Was padding used in assembly at the factory?
