72 Driver's side carpet

[Douglas L.]

I'm looking for a photo of the upper portion of the driver's side carpet; where the carpet plugs insert. There are 4 or 5 plugs in that area. I wan't to make sure I install the carpet correctly. Thanks.

Hi Doug,
I'll reply to help get you to the top for some new looks.
My original 71 carpet has only 3 plugs on the drivers side. In the 71 AIM 4 are shown. Mine has 1 on each side of the steering column (about 8" apart) and 1 about 4" above and 2" to the left of the tall tongue of the rubber heel pad. The 4th plug shown in the AIM is above the dimmer switch. I have neither the hole in the underbody or carpet at that location.
Also interesting is that the AIM clearly shows binding on the top edge of the carpet. Mine has no binding and is VERY roughly cut, especially above the area of the dimmer switch.
Have you looked at Patrick's 72 BowTie pictures? I'm not sure if he shows that part of the carpet or not. The link is in his signature.
I hope this is of some help to you.
Regards,
Alan

Patrick's photos was the first place I looked. The carpet photos doesn't cover that area.
